A very interesting article! I will have to take some time to read it fully. Definitely saving this in an open tab for later.

I enjoyed reading the 1st link and the stunning Koshirae but you would expect that as it is Juyo on the 2nd link

Darcy does a great job of describing his items. Very interesting and engaging reading
For me personally, this is exactly the type of blade when you can tell - everything else in the collection will look a bit dull.
A beautiful set of blade and koshirae with an impressive history 
Great job and admiration for Darcy

Great article, as expected from Darcy.

What a great job of sleuthing by Darcy and his customer too.  To figure out that this was a lost famous sword is huge.

[Hoshi]

Great job documenting the discovery.

 

I do wonder how many swords of extraordinary histories have found themselves disconnected from their stories.
