MovieFactoryYT Posted June 16, 2021 Report Posted June 16, 2021 I ve gotten into nihonto collecting a couple months ago. my first piece was a wakizashi, a while later i got a Sue Bizen Katana. both of them had Hozon papers. recently i bought a non NBTHK papered Katana/Wakizashi (its 2 mm short of 2 shaku) which supposedly is a kaneharu 3rd generation piece. it had Japanese registration papers (or atleast a copy of them) and apparently some experts in germany had a look over it. since i am fairly new to the game i am not sure who those people are since they only wrote their first names onto the letter of appraisal (Andreas and Marcus). does anybody here know about an Andreas and Marcus from germany who work with nihonto?

MovieFactoryYT Posted June 16, 2021 Author Report Posted June 16, 2021 or could it be that Markus Sesko is meant with "marcus" since ive seen quite a few here on the forum who call him like that Quote
DoTanuki yokai Posted June 18, 2021 Report Posted June 18, 2021 I think its the german entry for kaneharu in Markus Seskos swordsmith index. Quote
