Shin Shinto sword comments


Caracal

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

 

 

This katana is made by Izumi Dai jo Masamitsu Edo period. He was a Shin Shinto blacksmith from Aki today Hiroshima province (correct me if I am wrong)

 

I want comments about the blacksmith and the sword. Was he a famous blacksmith or a moderate blacksmith

 

What can one appreciate the value of this sword (on the pictures only). Old polishing but in good condition.

 

Grateful for any answers.

// Robert

Dear Robert.

 

As Chris points out it is very difficult to say anything about the sword from these images.  It appears to be a nice Shinshinto sword in koshirae, it seems ubu, signed and dated.  The smith is not famous as far as I can see but the work looks good from what you have sent us.  Is this a sword you are thinking of buying?

 

Happy Christmas.

Thanks for all the information about the sword.

 

I have one more question. To this sword comes a certificate for Koshirae or saya, can anyone look at what is written regarding the certificate. How should I read the certificate?

 

There is a separate certificate for Tsuba
