Thank You so much, it felt so weird and as this item is offered by member I took safe aproach. I still wait for delivery of book about him. Check this auction, yasurime was suspicious at first look and ofcourse niji mei at his blade… https://ebay.io/m/8SelCB

Did You ever spot simple mei by Him? I would like to get Your thoughts, especially if this blade could be „doctored”

True, looking at proportion of entire blade nagasa is an around 66cm „gunto” (1971-shinsakuto 新作刀 ofcourse) „fitted with copper sekigane” - I don’t see nothing like sekigane at the seppa dai area.

Jdirect/yahoo auction id: m1234018830 this seller really likes to reset auctions. Acid? It’s up quite some time.

I hope that this screenshot would be of any help for You.

Thank You for opinion and link. This tsuba imo dsn’t need anything at rim so You can spot nice pattern.

If anyone can confirm atribution-translation. I didn't buy it yet I find this piece beautiful in it's simplicity. JD auction id: s1239012464

Adding 3 extra pics I got from them. Clean or cleaned yet really good reference.

I even wrote to seller week ago for better pics, yet I found that at inv. more were posted already then at liveauc. Generic-classic-even boring as this is example having nakago with all attributes of usual Emura. This example have good koshirae with open tsuba. 920£ is really good price as long as blade doesn’t have any fatal flaws which is possible looking at state of other blades offered. Notare hamon with some minor chips. Wood grain hada (itame) is visible yet shinogi-ji have many grey spots (diy rust removing?) This auction overall had good pieces - especially T3 star stamped Sukehiro with unusual tsukamaki.

True I remembered green ito only. Ultimate last stage.

I saw a lot of mon. Didn't saw anything like this.

Dropping in separate thread. I see this for some time. Mon looks like pigeon? I can't find it anywhere. Blade was "DIY refreshed" or is it fake? Would be nice to find example with fake mon. JD id: c1192088517

Does it have serial number? Even bad pineapple had it.

something fresh. JD id:1238044881

@pcfarrar I know it is complete set. Could You give some more info about number of pages etc. for future reference? Page number, main topic or something? I can't find full description online. Price is crazy good so it won't last long.
