Tachi

[DTM72]

Sale is pending on my elaborately decorated tachi koshirae (Edo) with papered muromachi tachi/katana blade. <-- with that being said, I am now in the market for a tachi. The one I just sold was the highlight of my collection, but I received an offer I could not refuse. I am looking fo a new highlight. Points I am looking for can be found below.

 

MUST BE IN KOSHIRAE. Ito-maki koshirae or other slightly flashy koshirae. Would also consider a phoenix or dragon head koshirae.

Prefer signed/papered blade, but mumei papered is fine.

Prefer Koto blade. Shinto is fine too. No showa blade unless it is spectacular. I am NOT a fan of simple suguha. Prefer at least a meandering notare. Sorry, I find sugu to be boring.

Blade must be in good polish.

Price range is up to $10000 USD. Can go up a little if something really catches my eye.

 

Thanks to all!

 

Dan.

Hi Dan, I presently have a signed Kamakura tachi with tachi koshirae, and shirasaya with Tanobe-sensei sayagaki (Tokubetsu Hozon). It is above the budget you mentioned, but please message me if you would like to discuss further. 

 

Best regards,
