For tariffs I expect all to be refundable. Anyone who payed please keep receipts. Trump was looking for another legal basis to impose tarrifs again but it would apply for new imports. All thx to some wine importer. Yet still tariffs for bananas to protect domestic production? What „banana and rice” enjoyers thought about it?

Japanese WWII Gendaito Sword -Prototype Drag -Ki MASATSUGU
Rawa replied to matthewbrice's topic in Swords and Edged Weapons
@matthewbrice wakase made these. Number is a patent. Look please for more markings on tsuba under seppa. Looks promising with that rim. Number 4 tsuba link below. http://ohmura-study.net/906.html @Bruce Pennington was there any more spots for special wakase markings except tsuba and ishizuki? I’m sure I saw wakase having typical serie number on seppa and tsuba. -

Why haikan is inside cover? Shouldn’t be on and below buttons?

Seki stamp? Barely visible. Yet probably showato/untraditional in some way, as some claimed stamp dsn’t indicate anything in 100%

I hope that this thread is still of some interest. Attached Kai gunto koshirae with interesting parts. Dunno If this is rewrapped ito or individual order with dragon menuki. Seppa looks like made as solid pair only.

What a great find! Mountings are convincing (also assembly numbers on nakago). I was really hesistant to call my example genuine due to unusual nakago jiri. I have exactly same variation mei paired with this nakago jiri (typical more for Nagamitsu then NBTHK acknowledged genuine Emura blade). Mine also have bad tsuba swapped from particular type of replica with numbered habaki.

In China with their seals and many items made with gold - so new reality -
Late muromachi/early Edo in my opinion. I don’t see clear jihada but maybe some late gen chiyozuru? Really dense grain. Maybe older? Nakago was shortened but jiri looks like shaped to reminiscent original. And this kissaki looks reshaped. More measurements please maybe photo with clear sugata. Overall feels like fat and healthy. Definietly worthy of appraisal.
