The Mei trasslation was already a big help. Thxs a lot !! The price they are asking is around 2500 euro or 3400 usd. Is that a reasonable price for a piece like this ? As I read on Mr. Stein's site, some of his students also used the same signature so i believe it's really hard to be sure Chounsai Emura made the sword ? Thxs, Dave

A friend is offered this shirasaya and he asked me if i could post it here to get some insiders comments on it Thxs !
-
@Guido I'm following the discussion from the sideline but i'm enjoying it and learned a whole lot more Thxs to everyone (not that you should stop discussing now..) ! Dave

@Nagamki Got it..in fact I have this fuchi here for several years and wasn't interested in the mei untill i found this board But you're right, it's about the art, not the signature in the first place. Thxs! Dave
-
They always told me i'm to positive So the signature here on this fuchi doesn't really belong to this artisit ? I'n a newbie in the field.. Dave

@SwordGuyJoe, i'm not that fast but i already felt a bit weird...A few days after signing up here on the board, somebody contact (at an email nobody use to contact me ) me to offer a cheap katana..hm.. It's indeed the same guy and when i mailed him back to ask for better pics he replied You can't say he's not very specific :D Thxs for the heads up ! Dave

Thxs Greg ! Dave

Think i'm not the only one who received a mial here but according to the seller, although the sword is mounted as a military sword, the blade itself should date back to the 18e century. Any help is appreciated here before i make a descission The quality of the pics isn't that well.. Thxs Dave
-
I saw that info too so that's why i was getting confused since they guy who read the docs told me that it mentioned Kamakura Dynasty (or something similar). Anyone who can read the docs ? Thxs
-
Also have a Fuchi hanging around here, no documents or additional info. I suppose it's a very recent piece ? Thxs again Dave

I'm hanging around for quite some time here but never registered.. But i think i need some help here. I've got this tsuba in and since i can't read Japanese maybe somebody here can help me out. The guy i bought it from told me it was a kamakura tsuba from the early Edo. Yesterday i showed the documents to somebody who can read a bit Japanese and he told me that the Kamakura dynasty was indicated there. Who's right Thxs ! Dave
