francois2605 Posted November 5, 2020 Report Posted November 5, 2020 Hello, I just noticed this auction on Catawiki where the nakago of this gunto is suspiciously shiny, as if the blade had been forged yesterday. Also the pictures with the blue background have a Komonjo feel. What do you think ? Quote
ChrisW Posted November 5, 2020 Report Posted November 5, 2020 Definitely a Komonjo feel to it. 1 2 Quote
francois2605 Posted November 5, 2020 Author Report Posted November 5, 2020 Thanks that makes sense. I naively thought the item descriptions on Catawiki were trustworthy. Quote

Good morning, In the first few years of catawiki , this site was focussed to publish only real collector items of value for auction, Those days are gone... It has become a regular market place. example: https://www.catawiki.com/l/44084005-katana-damascus-staal-damascus-ijzer-hout-messing-Japan-21e-eeuw greetings Quote
