Guest Nanshoku-Samurai Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 Looks like a very fine blade to me. Will be interesting to see for what it will sell for. Quote
Bungo Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 arhhhhhhhhh, an imitaion Bungo, more like late koto/early shinto Bizen job with those crabs' claws like hamon. But then I am not into swords that much anymore, so take this with a lump of kosher salt. milt the ronin Quote
Jean Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 Hi Milt, I have not seen a lot of bizen swords with so much kinsuji/sunagashi. Bungo (wakimono) a mix of Bizen/Soshu ......... Quote
Stever Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Posted May 19, 2007 Good eye, Moriyama-san! I think you may be right! How much do you want to bet the removed signature started out "Bizen Osafune..." cheers, /steve Quote
