Masamune on eBay

[Guest Nanshoku-Samurai]

Hello all,

 

I just wondered what others were thinking about this one here:

I do not think that it is Kamakura. For sure it wants to look like a Koto Soshu blade but I think it shows Mino influence. I would want to think that it is a Shinto made Mino piece.

 

What do others think?

personally I think the price is very attractive......regardless of the mei

I thought it looked like an Osaka Shinto blade.

I agree with Milt at 100%. It was a bargain

 

I'll go for shinshinto copy of a Soshu koto blade (because it has seldom been polished - visible from the picture taken from above the munemachi -) , the hada is incredibly tight and very fine. A lot of activity, tobiyaki ... It has been taken back from the auction by the Seller because he was offered a large sum of money ....

Yet another :lol:

I like the other one better, but the box is intriguing.......

Could it be a booby trap ?

 

Nevertheless without any interest, too much kizu

 

Gimei for Gimei, I prefer this one :
