ROKUJURO Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 Francis,Nice! Looks like a SUKESADA KATANA blade in ITOMAKI no TACHI KOSHIRAE.Measurements? Your own estimation? 1 Quote
MAXBLISS888 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Posted February 19, 2016 I think it's a Kodachi as the Blade Lenght (nagasa) is only 20 inch, 50.8 cm. Quote
Kronos Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 Wakizashi as it's signed katana-mei. Looks nice but we can't see the hada/hamon and any Sukesada signed niji-mei needs closer inspection as they have a reputation for kazu-uchi-mono although there are fine examples. Quote
DGARBUTT Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 These mounts are typically from the late 1800's up to the 1940's. The mounts are copies of very high end mounts which were made starting in the 1500's. The blade is real, pre 1900, probably not real a sukesada, but that doesn't matter much for this sword in these mounts. 1 Quote
