Salvatori Moretto Posted October 15, 2015 Report Posted October 15, 2015 Beautiful Edo period mumei wakizashi for sale. Very fine koshirae in what seems to be butterfly theme as well as other insects, menuki appear to be birds, but again, could be wrong as the ito obscures it. Blade is in a fresh polish,just got this one back in the past week. No obvious flaws, but then again I am new and still not able to find them the way some of you can. Nakago has two mekugi ana, and most likely Edo period. Tsuba is iron and is signed. Habaki is silver foiled. All fittings are original and match the blade. Saya has some slight damage in one area, pictured at bottom. I can try and take more pictures if anyone needs and can send them via email for higher resolution. best measurements are: Nagasa 39 cm Sakihaba - sakikasane 1.9 - .4 Motohaba - Motokasane 2.6 - .6 Weight 616 grams fully mounted Total length 61 cm Tsuba 2.59 x 2.51 Asking $3,500, open to all reasonable offers. Shiping is included CONUS please add the paypal fee's or send as "gift" I offer a 3 day examination period to guarantee blade is as described and that there are no fatal flaws. In the absence of an issue with the blade or fittings, all sales are final If blade is sold at this price i'll give 20% to Markus Sesko's project. percent goes down accordingly if price is lowered.

Salvatori Moretto Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Posted October 15, 2015 Thanks!! I contemplated re doing the tsuka maki but couldn't find that type of high quality silk :/I can try to get a picture of the hada tonight, I knew i was forgetting something! :DSal' Quote

Salvatori Moretto Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Posted October 17, 2015 For some reason it will only let me upload one at a time? I have more but they wont upload Edit Admin - I was able to add them to one post easily. You have to upload each one individually before submitting a post, and make sure they are not oversize. 1 Quote

Salvatori Moretto Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Posted October 27, 2015 It was done through Wally Hostetter's (shiningmoon13.com) polisher that he uses. I would double check tomorrow and get back to you. I can't imagine why but is it the polish that is holding this back? I quite enjoy the polish on this.Thanks, Sal Quote
Stephen Posted October 27, 2015 Report Posted October 27, 2015 looks to be a pretty good starter, not sure why its not selling. Its all there, you have a 3 day turnaround +++...and hes helping Markus, newbies this would be a good start. lots of us started with Wakizashi. It might be that the machi has been moved up, my only guess. Quote
Greg F Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 Hi Sal, nice waki! I cant understand why not sold especially with such huge price drops. Best of luck. Greg Quote
SAS Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 It looks like a great deal that i would buy myself were it not for being broke Quote
