    Miyabi is a reseller. Look around you will find this example cheaper. Dunno how he got all those positive comments but not from selling swords.

    Guys dunno If I should mention it here but many sources predicts increasing interest rates on yen by another 0.25% this month. Dunno if it will end same way as in july 2024. But I expect that Usd/Jpy ratio will drop. Though usd is not my basic currency. I just want to notice this situation as many members want to make purchases in coming days.

    Was it exposed to the sun? Stored in shirasaya?

    It’s basara’s offer

    Men so this bag was made after war - thats my opinion. No one would use this type of source material during ww2
  6. Rawa
    Is this genuine? Would you use flags for bag? Japanese Empire btw. not current times.

    http://ohmura-study.net/906.html dunno if engraved version but fuchi looks good.

    42 milions yen, would it ever pass juyo?

    One question from me: whether nihonto market adjusts prices in relation to currency fluctuations? Yen droped 40% in 15 years. Imo high end old blades are bad investment

    Could you drop here those 2 examples? Mei posted by me is made in different, less sharp style then those I found.

    Chrysanthemum/kiku is placed on right side? Is this gimei?
  14. Rawa
    Mekugi ana are made in similar spot so theory that chuso position depends on it isn’t reliable. Still boston’s murata-to is in T94 but without second hanger [if original to blade?]

    Thanks Bruce. Whole nakago is important for future comparison. Dunno if there is easiest mei to forge.

    Mate I clearly understand your point and don’t looking for beef. Its cheap pappered late muromachi example worth couple hundreads bucks for comparison what you can find out there. It was discussed before on forum. Cheers and no hard feelings.

    Can I get your opinion about this blade? Sugata only please as I bought it just for shape.

    Similar example from recent auction https://www.catawiki.com/pl/l/99431749-katana-tanto-w-shirasaya-ija-ww-ii-kamikaze-pilot-kaiken-horimono-japonia

    „At least until 1942, Emura personally did the hardening (yaki-ire) of all the swords made at Okayama prison” Both longer and short versions of mei exists with NBTHK/NTHK pappers. Better not to look for mei as indicator for craftsmenship.
  20. Rawa
    Another example. Katana mei type „B” https://ebay.us/m/BfZfgG no better pictures of entire nakago.
  21. Rawa
    Looks good for me. Carefully polished.
  22. Rawa
    Looks like individual order? T98 with interesting tsuba and menuki. No locking mechanism and tsuba appears unadapted for leather fuchi addon. https://ebay.us/m/N6gS5Z
  23. Rawa
    Fire damage?
  24. Rawa
    Add some photos haha.
  25. Rawa
    Is this offer still with boston’s account?
