    This seller is pushing like 95% of fakes claiming that he tries to help some collector...
  2. Rawa
    Saya was repainted? @Bruce Pennington tsukamaki indicates this is better example.
  3. Rawa
    And here T98 example. Wakase but with replica blade I suppose.

    Someone extracted one menuki. It could be menuki with crest on it. As I recall on tsuka there is only one with crest and the other is common.
  5. Rawa
    Looks like from one seller we are getting many fine examples.

    Hamon looks like gunome-midare? https://romanceofmen.com/blogs/katana-info/katana-hamon-learn-more-about-this-fascinating-pattern-on-the-katana-blade Gunome-midare specifically https://romanceofmen.com/pages/gunome-midare-in-Japanese-katana-terminology

    Saya[scabbard] was probably made of wood with leather cover and you either had seppa with clip or fuchi leather cover with clip [tsuba has exactly that opening. Here you have entire thread about leather covers. Habaki have simple rain/cat scratch pattern. https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/32583-cat-scratch-habaki/#comments

    I hope this sword can be saved and I will put money and effort into it. If it wasn't sukemitsu would be better becouse of scarce title used usually for average swords of others from Osafune - except Sukemitsu.

    Time to refresh topic https://ebay.us/m/3nQUyu

    Men komonjo is back from retirement!
  13. Rawa
    Maybe it will be helpfull https://www.japaneseswordindex.com/gendai.htm Especially Showa Tosho

    Could this be cadet sword or sth like that? 48cm nagasa/76cm koshirae and 2 haikan... also strange sarute.
  15. Rawa
    For reference

    Oh men I see mei diference clearly in yama alone. I don't argue if @Steve Waszak is right or not especially as he is quoted all around [even on site I linked]. Cheers boyz buying this I was expecting all being trash.

    Thank you for info. What details convince you towards it being copy? Facture? Hitsu-ume? I found similar pattern. https://varshavskycollection.com/yamakichibei-tsuba/
  18. Rawa
    All examples as I see have them mounted on ha side. Establishment of T94/T97 should be most suitable as an argument. http://ohmura-study.net/283.html

    Your opinion please on this assembly. Tsuba is signed. Sekigane was made for Bishu Osafune Sukemitsu, sword dsn't rattle.
  20. Rawa
    Yes, dunno maybe it's my imagination.
  21. Rawa
    Ura nakago. Maybe there was somthing.
  22. Rawa
    Ok I picked it. Definietly Sukemitsu. Nakago jiri looks fine. Your opinion on sugata [late muromachi?] And advice for kissaki. Is this salvageable? Hada itame/mokume but faint.
  23. Rawa
    Definitely Nagayama. Go for Nakahara too https://archive.org/details/factsfundamental0000naka Then depends what period you will like most. M. Sesko also have many publications.
  24. Rawa
    Admit that Shigetsugu is superior and Yasukuni-to is a bait

    Compare Trump/Zelensky oval office meetings. One current one and the other "where is your suit" incident. Pay attention to background
