    Interesting find George and Roy. Extra photos would be nice to see.

    Sorry I have nothing on him as it does not seems to be Kato Kanekuni nor Ogawa Kanekuni. Do you have photos of the blade (hamon, kissaki etc)?
  3. Bruno
    I think the last 3 kanji are Kane kuni saku, though I am always wrong.

    What I meant was probably several guys here would like to send their tsuka to a guy like him but simply do not know he even exists. That is why a website or at least a bit of communication/publicity nowadays are usefull. I easily imagine it is not what they like but one has to live with his time. How old is the crafman?

    He should have a website, a Facebook page etc..Nowadays not being visible on the internet for a pro is a risk. He should take time to be a member here (despite his poor english) to be known.

    Hi Ian, Kevin from Ryujinswords does an excellent work in gunto saya painting. He can reproduce perfectly the particular semi rought texture.

    Oops! I saw his family name and quickly guess he was chinese based in China. You are right he is an US guy and this is reassuring.

    Hello Barry, That is a pretty good idea. I too saw them in museums and they looked nice. Thanks for the photo, nice design. Thanks Eric for the link, I saw it and the photos are nice too but always distrust a bit when it comes to chinese seller.

    Hi Thomas, For the same reasons I would not make a wooden one either, it will be amateur work thus not nice to look at.

    Hi gents, Anybody knows where this can be found? I mean a good quality one and not a standard swords stand, but something with katana kake style. Thanks

    By looking at the Facbook page, it seems that Mike Yamaguchi (Komonjo) is not very happy either of Mr Roush's commnication. :?

    NO SHU SEKI JU KANE TOSHI SAKU? I am really bad so probably not that.

    Hello Mike, Very nice sword. The polish looks good too, may we know who did it please? Thanks

    Hi,Bruno The mei says "Seki Kanekiyo saku kore". Exactly Morita, that what I meant! Thanks!
  15. Bruno
    Mino Kane kado saku kore?

    Thanks David, I know they are not special but as they were mass produced, by whom they were mass produced? I just would like to know if they were fittings approved and issued by the army like were Type 94/98/3 fittings. They are published in several gunto books that makes think they were also "official" gunto fittings. Also, I would like to know, if someone knows if they were the unique non military fittings made during the Showa era. http://www.h4.dion.ne.jp/~t-ohmura/gunto_037.htm Thanks

    Hi Thomas, I know they were mass produced but it was not my question.

    Hello, Were these bamboo and cherry blossoms patterns, the only two official army civilian patterns for army civilian employees swords? Is there a specific menuki pattern that should/must normaly match with them, like the usual gunto cherry blossom ones, or owners were free to choose any menuki style they wanted? PS: I think in the case of this auction, there were fake bids : 29 bids for 7 bidders means each bidders bidded 4 times.Or maybe these fittings are really sought after

    Indeed, Emura-to are a myth?
  20. Bruno
    If Emura himself cut all the mei but that 100 persons were involved in the swords forging, how is it reasonably possible to identify those forged by Emura himself?
  21. Bruno
    Hello Rich, Is it known for sure that Nagamitsu had helpers/apprentices? I know that for Emura it is sure.

    So we can assume that adding a date on the nakago was a requirement of the RJT program only, and that Nagamitsu did not put date on his nakago (at least very few) fo pesonnal taste when he was out of the RJT program ?
  23. Bruno
    Nagamitsu was RJT but his star stamped blades are very rare then? Strange. Anybody knows for how long he has been RJT?
  24. Bruno
    Does anybody knows the reason why Nagamitsu's nakago are almost never dated?
  25. Bruno
    5 looks oil quenched, for the rest....I am not sure.
