Salvatori Moretto Posted August 20, 2015 Report Posted August 20, 2015 For sale are two more from my collection. There is not much on the list of things i know about these besides that they are mumei, almost certainly ubu, and that the blades are in near perfect condition and with no flaws that I have been able to find. The Gendaito is beautiful and hada unique with very nice full dress file marks on the nakago. Again it's mumei, ubu, and there is no arsenal stamp. i think maybe it was a pre-war blade mounted for the war but I can't say for certain it's age; many of you may know more by looking at it. The Tanto looks to be either shinto or shinshinto. Ubu, mumei, and beautifully done. Blade has recent full polish and a lovely turnback. I had a new habaki and buffalo horn fuchi made for this by Wally Hostetter. Saya is all original and in almost perfect condition with beautiful ribbing done in lacquer. Matching Wari-kogai, and what I think is probably a mismatched but beautiful signed kozuka and signed gokatana. Original jabara-maki is still intact. Prices include shipping CONUS fully insured. As I mentioned before I know very little about these, if you know anything that influences the price of these positively or negatively please don't hesitate to let me know!

Salvatori Moretto Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Posted October 1, 2015 These are about to go up at a local auction in the coming weeks. If there is anything you like, no reasonable offer will be turned down Quote
Salvatori Moretto Posted December 6, 2015 Author Report Posted December 6, 2015 Sure did, Gendaito sold today. The tanto however did not so it will either go again at their next auction or I will potentially have it available on here again. I will find out on monday what my options are, I was not thrilled with the poor quality pictures they used or how long it took them to finally put it up for auction.Thanks,.Sal Quote
Stephen Posted December 6, 2015 Report Posted December 6, 2015 Id like to see the tanto again 1 Quote
jason_mazzy Posted December 6, 2015 Report Posted December 6, 2015 what happened to the fuchi and kashiras? seems like they didnt sell/ reserve? Quote
Salvatori Moretto Posted December 6, 2015 Author Report Posted December 6, 2015 I had a reserve on them, but even so, the reserves were pretty darn low, i think off hand they were between 80-120 at most for the reserves.If I can I will just offer whats left on here again, have to see what my options are to pull the rest of what didnt sell out Sal Quote
jason_mazzy Posted December 7, 2015 Report Posted December 7, 2015 give me a pm on them. I like the mice. 1 Quote
