Original WWII army sword bag value?
Rawa replied to george trotter's topic in Military Swords of Japan
Men so this bag was made after war - thats my opinion. No one would use this type of source material during ww2 -

Is this genuine? Would you use flags for bag? Japanese Empire btw. not current times. -

Thoughts on the Masamune currently up at Aoi Art?
Rawa replied to treverorum's topic in Auctions and Online Sales or Sellers
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?
-
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.
-
Another example. Katana mei type „B” https://ebay.us/m/BfZfgG no better pictures of entire nakago.
-
Looks good for me. Carefully polished.
-
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
-
Add some photos haha.
-
Is this offer still with boston’s account?
-
It dsn’t matter how much money you have. Or how big Your hunger for blades is. Please consider narrowing down to particular era. If You buying becouse You are looking for „Your blade” maybe You should to order brand new one.

Collecting is not an addiction. It’s a hobby

Are you able to spot darker parts on this nakago? Usually mekugi ana had some time „in service” so darker patina would point you into direction. Here you have 3.
