  1. Adding another photo. Rising sun washers and semegane are made of white non-magnetic metal which patinated green. It’s white brass?
  2. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3ewxjpqqqzo
  3. That sekigane men. I had similar. Kogai ana was cut out in mine example. 100% cast.
  4. 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?
  5. I was off forum for 1,5 month and almost missed this. Dream is for combined work @Scogg and @Bruce Pennington added some kyu gunto/kai gunto koshirae variations and most important mantetsu. Great job!
  6. @Lexvdjagtto speed up sale post more koshirae pictures, especially saya.
  7. This photo was hunting me couldn’t find it back
  8. @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.
  9. https://ebay.us/m/IM7lJL Crest, tassel and described as replica.
  10. Why haikan is inside cover? Shouldn’t be on and below buttons?
  11. Seki stamp? Barely visible. Yet probably showato/untraditional in some way, as some claimed stamp dsn’t indicate anything in 100%
  12. Def. not random mix
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. In China with their seals and many items made with gold - so new reality
  16. 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.
  17. @PNSSHOGUNwhat about tassel here? Looks brand new and (considering tsukamaki wear) was added later.
  18. So blade was made pre great flood 1590-1591. Great help and blade. https://markussesko.com/2013/03/12/the-great-flood-of-the-yoshii-river/
  19. @lonely panet ffs maybe you are right. https://sword-auction.com/en/product/29954/as25207-katana-hizen-koku-fujiwara-yoshikanenbthk-tokubetsu-kicho-token/ no word about „activity” in pics
  20. Wrapped under kabutogane? Someone redone tsukamaki.
  21. We have separate thread for crests only? https://www.behance.net/gallery/41878025/5000-MON-Japanese-FAMILY-CRESTS p. 274
  22. @Jussi Ekholm You were into naginata?
