Fs: Beautiful Mumei Edo Wak


Salvatori Moretto

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Hi

As Sal has had very bad news I thought it may help to say that I have bought his wakizashi

It may save anyone sending him emails about purchasing this item when he has a lot of other tings on his mind

I know he has appreciated every ones kind words

 

 

Condolences
