Alex A Posted May 1, 2019 Report Posted May 1, 2019 Pretending to be something its not, especially the nakago (from the images) https://www.aoijapan.com/katana-mumei-unsigned-attributed-as-hirofusa/ Wonder if any new collectors can spot what gives it away ? Still, a good sword. 2 Quote
Marius Posted May 1, 2019 Report Posted May 1, 2019 Why, it is a Kuwana blade. It does not pretend to be anything, at least not in Tsuruta san's description... Quote
Alex A Posted May 1, 2019 Author Report Posted May 1, 2019 Im not talking about Tsuruta Sans description Mariusz, im talking about how it was made to look older, hence "pretending". Quote
raynor Posted May 1, 2019 Report Posted May 1, 2019 Not a bad asking price for a decent sword in koshirae but to my admittedly untrained eye the tsuba/fuchikashira etc. looks like they were in a HURRY when being made. Quote
Geraint Posted May 1, 2019 Report Posted May 1, 2019 Dear Omar. Tsuruta san dismisses the koshirae as modern and of no value so at least in one regard your eye is doing well. All the best. Quote
