MAXBLISS888 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 After a long search process... I was looking for an Aoe but ended with a Ryumon Nobuyoshi 龍門延吉. 7 Quote
Ray Singer Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 Would love to see more photos. My best friend bought the mumei Ryumon Nobuyoshi which was formerly in the Museum of Sword Fittings (attributed to Ryumon Nobuyoshi and received Juyo after purchase). Exceptional smith and an exceptional sword. http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/lot/a-yamato-school-katana-unsigned-attributed-to-4376903-details.aspx?from=salesummery&intobjectid=4376903&sid=feba4329-11a3-4dcd-ae24-c54ffbe23836 2 Quote

MAXBLISS888 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Report Posted January 11, 2017 I thought the Tachi will be from the Aoe den but after Shinsa, it ended up as Ryumon Nobuyoshi instead. 2 Quote
