    Def. some not random marks probably date so tachi mei?
  2. Marcin
    Check saya if there isn’t moisture. It’s red active rust probably formed during delivery. Isoprophyl alcohol 99%?

    Dunno if this is main thread about Shodai Kawashima but I would like to add 2 more examples of his work. http://www.jp-sword.com/files/blade/tadayoshi/tadayoshi.htm and from recent auction (I hope that community would get a chance to admire this blade after restoration.

    If you could please add some pictures of your example. We could with ease create here online oshigata for all smiths.

    Nice koshirae with mon at menuki. This seller had some items Canada based if I remember correctly. Don’t wish for a gift from longtime seller His current ebay listings are placed in Japan :/

    In many of those auctions he is first bidder. Dunno how many he won but it’s easy to change name at aoi so why shill would work under same name? He looked like collector.

    Fine translation

    Shouldn’t weight be higher? 544g with 68 nagasa is scary

  13. Marcin

    Is there a way to put timer on downloadable file with edition restriction? For example: -file is readible for couple months -you can’t make a copy of it? How ebooks are protected? asking here not in gold membership tab

    You have done a lot of research. I thought about combined work with all done in previous articles. Like Slough’s Mantetsu pages.
  18. Marcin
    Here you go
  19. Marcin
    What about making some articles available only for long term subscribers? Imo NCO 95 guide and some kind of oshigata compilation would do the trick. And I know some kind of guide is in the making. @Bruce Pennington @Scogg have You thought about cooking something? Slough’s second edition was printed 20 years ago
  20. Marcin
    You had this one? @Bruce Pennington https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1G1xE8DzW6/?
  21. Marcin
    Juyo token from 1983
  22. Marcin

    https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1GRTHwnLih/? @Bruce Pennington I hope this would be interesting for you.
  24. Marcin
    So catawiki keeps their standards. @Scogg could you move this thread to fake’s tab?

    This blade is coming back from time to time. September 1940. As You like those shrine works maybe someone would want to bid on it. Monouchi is imo badly damaged on both sides. https://www.catawiki.com/pl/l/100253437-katana-autentyczny-yasukunito-miecz-oficera-ija-z-ii-wojny-swiatowej-w-nietypowych-osadzeniach-typ-98-japonia
