Yuradneprov Posted July 21, 2020 Author Report Posted July 21, 2020 Thanks steve, its more that I'm curious about it that's all I know it's not a treasure. Quote
Babu Posted July 21, 2020 Report Posted July 21, 2020 OK show the Tanto blade and some decent images of the koshirae. But you will need to do this in the nihonto section as a new post. Then ask your questions about the blades quality. Do the same in tosogu for the koshirae. You will get some opinions hopefully . Assuming it's Gotō and a Tokugawa piece is going to need provenance or thorough research. The koshirae if period is pointing towards very high quality if its got the right level of detail. Is any of the koshirae signed? Quote
Yuradneprov Posted July 21, 2020 Author Report Posted July 21, 2020 Hey Adam I will share the tanto soon and more pictures soon I'm just researching the piece for now because I plan to buy it. First need to know what it is though. When it's in my possession I will share pictures of the tanto and better pictures of the koshirae. I think that the koshirae is high quality because it's made really well and I didn't see any signutures on the koshirae when I had it in my hands. Quote
Ganko Posted July 21, 2020 Report Posted July 21, 2020 The koshirae appears to not be too old to me. Quote
Yuradneprov Posted July 21, 2020 Author Report Posted July 21, 2020 Hi Tom yes it not too old but if say 1780-1840 time period when It was made Quote
Yuradneprov Posted July 21, 2020 Author Report Posted July 21, 2020 Here are 2 more images of the koshirae Quote
Yuradneprov Posted July 21, 2020 Author Report Posted July 21, 2020 When I get more pictures I'll post. Quote
Ganko Posted July 21, 2020 Report Posted July 21, 2020 From the limited details it looks like a decent Shinshinto sword. Could be a good maker. Kogarasu maru shape with naginata hi. Quote
Yuradneprov Posted July 22, 2020 Author Report Posted July 22, 2020 Will share more when I own it, I dont want to jinx myself lol. 1 Quote

Yuradneprov Posted July 22, 2020 Author Report Posted July 22, 2020 Hey Scroll up there's a picture of the blade Quote
Yuradneprov Posted July 22, 2020 Author Report Posted July 22, 2020 If anyone is curious about the blade itself I posted in tosogu section. There you will see better pictures. Thank you gentlemen Quote
