    Double piece habaki. But it’s kinda to small to fit fully in koiguchi. Saya holds safely?
  2. Rawa
    Dunno if I named those right. Snap fastener?

    https://sword-auction.com/en/product/29528/as21788-刀：関住兼道作之/ 250k, If anyone from forum buy this please check if there is word „TOKYO” embossed on napa

    @Gerry Position 12529. Nice piece. Longest ubu amongst katana with this atribution.
  5. Rawa
    Have you ever got serial number starting with 0??
  6. Rawa
    How long is entire blade? From kissaki to nakago jiri.

    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?
  10. Rawa
    It’s basara’s offer
  11. Rawa
    Men so this bag was made after war - thats my opinion. No one would use this type of source material during ww2
  12. 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?
  20. 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?]
  21. Rawa
    Thanks Bruce. Whole nakago is important for future comparison. Dunno if there is easiest mei to forge.
  22. Rawa
    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.
  23. Rawa
    Can I get your opinion about this blade? Sugata only please as I bought it just for shape.
  24. Rawa
    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.
