Haven't asked the auctioneer. Just saw it yesterday. I really liked the Tachi mounts.

This is the listing. https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/211671415_an-ito-maki-tachi-compton-west-berkshire

I found a Tachi for sale online. It is not cheap. This is the signature. Is it worth going after it?

Thank you! That is a beautiful piece. Is it worth it to pick up a Type 98 Gunto handle?

Hi All, I will get a picture of the tsuba by itself soon. The blade is 27 inches long and the total length is 36. I am relieved that the piece is at least partially authentic. I am not sure about the wood. Are the metal flowers embedded in the handle wood completely artistic (custom handle)? Or is there tradition with this?

Hi Everyone, I really appreciate your help with this. I recently purchased a Katana with a signed tang on both sides. This is my very first purchase. It has a very odd handle with a metal scabbard. Any assistance is appreciated. Jon D
