Jon MB Posted July 22, 2020 Report Posted July 22, 2020 Any opionions much appreciated. Thinking later than Koto, based on shape ...Has Masame hada....but not in good polish. Shin Shinto? But has been shortened... Any and all comments appreciated. Warm regards, Jon B Quote
Jon MB Posted July 22, 2020 Author Report Posted July 22, 2020 It was in non-traditional koshirae and has some sort of residue on the nakago. Quote
Babu Posted July 22, 2020 Report Posted July 22, 2020 Hi it appears shortened but what strikes me is the yokote is way off. Has it had a homemade polish? Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted July 23, 2020 Report Posted July 23, 2020 Jon, I don't think you're seeing masame hada, just some artifacts from whatever has happened to it. Yes, it's suriage, & looks to be late-Shinto/Shinshinto. Quote
Jon MB Posted July 25, 2020 Author Report Posted July 25, 2020 Thank you adam and Ken. I will look to clean it up a bit and take better pictures. The yokote issue is more to do with photography I think. Comments appreciated. It was in bone export mounts, but is real nihonto as opposed to the metal bar that is usually present in those bone fittings. Was evaluating to see it I would fix it up for Iai. Quote
