Stephen Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 dont know how well this translates, but babled it. Hello with all, I inform you qu' a tachi pertaining to a friend comes d' to be stolen on March 29, 2009. C' is a blade of 71 cm nagasa, style koto but the Edo period, hada in itame, line of hardening as a gunomist midare, point enters the KB and the chu kissaki. Detail important, it misses one or two mm with the point. Old polishing but without trace of rust; some marblings, left by a torsion. Blade mumei and suriage, nakago of brown patina/maroon, with 2 mekugi ana, termination in kiri (right). Mounting of tachi in paillettée lacquer, with dragonflies in low-relief, all them metal elements are engraved into cursive and copper covered d' however. Handle covered with silk with floral decoration and braided out of silk blue glossed, tsumami maki. Tsuba in three distinct and superimposed plates, and 4 seppas. Herewith a photograph. You can diffuse this message with all the people in the Japanese sabre, arts of the sabre or antiquities, thank you. If one presents this object to you, thank you to contact me immediately: Aurélien Frayssinhes 06 74 45 66 54 Quote
Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 EDIT missed to check the original thread on the french forum. Sorry, Mod you can delete this post. Patrik, a picture (if available) of the blade would help a lot to be posted on other national fora as well. Quote

reinhard Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 Patrick, I don't have access to the page of imageshack with the hi-res image (maybe registration is needed). Posting a pic and short description would be useful. reinhard Quote
takakage Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Posted March 31, 2009 Hi, yes a picture of this sword [edit Brian - uploaded directly here. Imageshack is a problem for some.) Quote
Henry Wilson Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 That is the picture of the koshirae. If anyone has any picture details of the sword that we can all view with ease, that would be a great help. Quote
