    Looking for a translation of the inscription on this kogatana hopefully it is visible
  2. bloodycarrots
    I sent him an email. Thanks!

    I recently acquired 2 blades that need to have their handles rewrapped since the current wrap is fraying badly. Any recommendations on people who can do that would be appreciated. Pictures of the handles are attached.
  4. bloodycarrots
    Yeah! I really do like it.
  5. bloodycarrots
    Thanks for your help!
  6. bloodycarrots
    There should be an issue date correct?
  7. bloodycarrots
    which picture were you translating? The one in the first or second post?
  8. bloodycarrots
    Yeah if you don’t mind. I tried to google translate it. But that is not great. In fact I’m pretty sure it’s just flat out wrong. Considering it said the sword is 2 armpits in length.

    Thanks!

    Need to add one more picture
  11. bloodycarrots
    Appreciate the help. If pictures aren’t good please let me know. I can try and retake them when the sun goes down.
  12. bloodycarrots
    Didn’t think of that. It would drastically reduce size. I’ll keep that in mind.

    So real antique sword, but fake signature. Which based on that google search is quite common with this smith?

    looks like I've exceeded the filesize limits for posts, and i cant upload here. I put them on a google drive and opened it up to anyone with a link https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/111UlSaoUkIlU8ibqnCbwherBuhWOMoYF?usp=sharing

    I took pictures as best I could (not a professional photographer)

    If I can take some good blade photos I will post them.

    These do look wildly different ☹️. I think I've been had. This was my first purchase and I guess I’ll just have to eat this mistake and learn from it. Never buy anything with a signature that doesn’t have papers. I guess one thing I can be thankful for. This was less than $1K so I didn’t get taken for that much.
  19. bloodycarrots
    Thanks! You said the signature is often faked? Is there any way to authenticate it here in the US?
  20. bloodycarrots
    Hopefully this is better. I was able to download a slightly larger file size.
  21. bloodycarrots
    I had to upload lower quality images due to size limits. Of attachments on posts. Let me see what I can do.

    I have been talking with Wally Hostetter. He’s pretty responsive and has a wide range of stuff he can make. Decent pricing too. You can fill out a contact form on his website. https://shiningmoon13.com/contact-us/ just tell him what you’re looking for and he’ll give you an initial estimate. He doesn’t accept any electronic payments though. But, he does say you don’t pay until the work is done and he shows you pictures/video and you approve. After which you can mail send a check or money order.

    Need help translating this. Let me know if pictures aren’t good I can retake them in better lighting.
  24. bloodycarrots
    Thanks! Btw that link is broken. It’s kicking back a DNS failure. Either the site is no longer valid. Or the name is wrong and is failing to resolve.
  25. bloodycarrots
    Hope this picture is better for a complete translation. Let me know if it is not readable. I can retake in better light.
