Marius Posted May 9, 2007 Report Posted May 9, 2007 Dear All, could you help me to assess this tanto, purchased from daimyou54 on eBay and now offered on Allegro.pl, the largest Polish auction site? Pictures are to be found here: http://top.net.pl/~marco11/TANTOXIVw/index.html It seems to me that this tanto (or wakizashi) is: - very tired - suriage or o-suriage - has two very strange mekugi ana (drilled?) - has a ruined nakago, bent and possibly cleaned with something - never never never a Kamakura (as claimed by seller) - gimei, with the false signature done in a very clumsy manner Are my remarks correct? Please treat this as a learning opportunity for a nihonto beginner :-) Thank you for your time :-) Quote
