New Purchase

Hello fellas,

I haven't been active in collecting Nihonto for a bit, but took a chance on this osuriage koto piece.

Guessing it's a Mino school product but I'm never right. It was brought back by a Marine Brigader General in

1946.

Nice horse fittings, but no tsuba. Mekuji ana lines up so I guess the koshirae was made without one. Kind of odd?

 

A couple of inazuma in the hamon. I don't know if that is a characteritic of a particular school or not.

It is interesting as you can see the hamon in the nakago. I'll have to hit the books to see what

era it may be from but happy to read any comments from you blokes.

Best regards,

Bob

Hi Bob, 

 

Difficult to make out much of the jigane in pics, but if Mino, leaning more towards Edo, rather than Koto

 

Looks dense, and im thinking you wont see masame, 

 

Would sort that active rust out, think I see some in the bo-hi too.

Gents, Thanks for the comments as always. i had a little time to look at this piece tonight, it does have a fine ko mokume hada with no flaws. It is very nice to study.

3 Inazuma in the hamon, with a polisher signature on the mune. There also is a tsuka maki signature and the guy did do a great job

with the silk. I wish the few I tried to rewrap in the past where half as good. Anyway, it the locker it goes until a show or shinsa.

Best regards,

Bob
