    Definitely not a Mantestuto!

    I would say buffed instead of chrome plated because it is easier to buff it. I cannot tell for sure weather it is guenine showato or not, please post photos of the mounts it will help us to conclude.

    if tachimei i guess you can call them tachi and veci versa for katana.
  6. Bruno
    I think it is guenine, at least the tsuka is. So if the tsuka is original to the sword, the sword might be guenine.

    Why not asking for an appraisal here, on the forum? There are plenty of knowledgable people.

    I think your guess is the right one, KANEMUNE

    I agree with you Eric, a lot of money involved. It is why I guess seller wanted his investment back and possibly played with the bids to increase final price. However I do not think he will sell it a third time on Eb...

    I can not see that this sword was described as being "restored", it does not mention being polished, no mention of tang stamp or oil-water tempered etc. Ito, same and polish look like they were done yesterday to me.

    45 bids and only 9 different bidders? "Item being relisted due to a O feedback non-payer" Yeah of course!!!

    3501$ for restored showato??? I have a friend who bought a Yasukuni in good condition for that price. Really weird

    Burned Katana?

    Bruno replied to Muki's topic in Nihonto

    The nakago doesn't look like burned to "newbie forever" eyes. It shows just show natural patina. I would more look at the blade itself and the gueniness of the mei to evaluate the quality of the sword.

    I do like to try also but it seems that US sellers do not ship this product abroad. Does anybody know one that could ship Noxon to France? Thanks

    Hi I do not want to be a "bad tongue" also because I like jason's wakizashi, but isn't the back of the mune a bit small? I have been told that when the back of the mune is almost on the same line than the nakago, it could mean a quite tired sword. Is anyone know something about that? Thanks

    Hi David, I like the way you think about picking a good sword. I fully agree on any point.

    Once again, the nakago looks like a typical late war pattern Type showato. The swords seems to have been shortenes, repolished to fit this older wakizashi koshirae. These king of WW2 swords were laminated not hand forged, so why would one find a hagire? Just asking...
  19. Bruno
    Looks like a shortened and repolished Type 3 remounted in edo period wakizashi koshirae to me.

    Hi Agripino, Just send photos, no need to give such a long description.
  21. Bruno
    He contacted me also about the gendaito Amahide I am looking for. I asked for close up, but I have no reply from him since that. I guess this particular sword is hard to find, even pics are, he could not find any pics to lure me and gave up. Poor guy(s)
  22. Bruno
    Sublime! Quinee, try to shot the same pictures of your sword.
  23. Bruno
    What a beautifull sword, Chris.
  24. Bruno
    Maybe just send the sword to a togishi in order to remove the fake signature, and repatinate the nakago. Do not if it is possible? For sure it will cost you less than a full polish.
  25. Bruno
    Jason, Do you already know to whom you will send your sword for polish? Any idea of its cost?
