Second one.

 

Blade with mei, can not regocnize the kanji probable added later by owner or worn down because nakago looks like it has been cleaned. Blade is very strong and has some stains and oxidation but will polish out nicely. Some scratches and nicks but nothing serious. Looks like a shinto period blade with suguha hamon.

 

Nagasa: 40 cm

Sori: 0,9 cm

Motogasane: 0,6 cm

Motohaba: 2,8 cm

Sakigasane: 0,5 cm

Asking price 800€, small room to negotiate.

3rd blade

 

Mei, Kaneshige, has seen a lot of life and is quite worn but still seems elegant. Has original torokusho with it (don't ask me how, was attached to it) and description on shirasaya.

 

Nagasa: 34,7 cm

Sori: 0,9 cm

Motogasane: 0,5 cm

Motohaba: 2,6 cm

Sakigasane: 0,3 cm

Sakihaba: 1,9 cm

 

Has stains and scratches, will not survive a full polish in my opinion.

 

Asking 600€ for this.

4th blade

 

Kaneyoshi, Mino possibly Zenjyo group.

 

Nagasa: 54,8 cm

Sori: 1,3 cm

Motogasane: 0,6 cm

Motohaba: 2,9 cm

Sakigasane: 0,49 cm

Sakihaba: 2,3 cm

 

Elegant blade with old polish and shirasaya. ready for enjoying as is, papering it should place it on late Muromachi period. Gunome midare hamon and mokume mixed with masame hada.

 

Has a small area in boshi that seems to have hit something harder than blades steel, has left an "overpolished" area to the blade. Guaranteed to polish out fine.

 

Asking 1800€ for this, little room to negotiate.

Number two is signed Sanjo Munechika

[AndyMcK]

Thank you Thomas, so quite obvious addition by someone..

[paulb]

not necessarily there was a smith working in the 1800s who used that mei

[AndyMcK]

Ah, just checked it from Markuses index, you mean the one with kokaji in his mei?

 

Antti

[paulb]

Hi Antti

Yes I think so. I am doing this from memory but if I remember correctly he was working mid 1800s and unlike the original who never used kokaji, only Sanjo or Munechika, but never both and never with Kokaji the shin-shinto man used all three elements in various combinations.

 I think that sword has some real potential there looks to be a lot of actvity in both jihada and hamon.

[AndyMcK]

Aye, it is one of the project blades I was looking to get in the hands of professional to make a good clean window and have it appraised by shinsa, maybe still will, depends on how it goes with the other blades.

 

Antti

[AndyMcK]
