Conway S Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Steve, smallsword on eBay often has Nagamitsu for sale. As I am sure you know, his prices are negotiable. Conway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swords Posted April 30 Author Report Share Posted April 30 Thanks for the heads up Conway I did see his sword just didn’t like the blade John what zero feed back are you talking about ? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeLuucas Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 @Swords The eBay seller in that link has 0 feedback. Meaning they have never received a review for buying or selling. If you click on their profile, you will find that they created their eBay account this month (April 2024). You can find the best and most reputable sellers on eBay by looking at their seller rating, feedback score, and the number of items they've sold. A seller with no history is considered more risky. Sincerely, -Sam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Nagamitsu is a good wartime smith, but not a great one. Around the same level as decent Emura swords (another smith you should consider) I wouldn't be spending more than about $2500 total for a mid level Gendaito that isn't in professional polish. But that's just me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swords Posted May 1 Author Report Share Posted May 1 Problem is finding a decent one with hamon no nicks or any other issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonely panet Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Condition of the mounts is hard to find or fix. Condition of the blade is fixable but you might have to take a loss if you sell in the future. Or leave as is and enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conway S Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 I know you have said in the past that you don't go to shows, but that's where you find deals and can see the piece in-person before buying. There were at least two swords signed Nagamitsu at the Chicago Show this past weekend. Conway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwmc Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Every Ebay seller has to start at some point, however caution and communication is as mentioned highly advised! Agree with Brian and Hamfish, sword isn't worth paying above $2500 and would offer $2000 to start. Blade doesn't appear too bad from the limited photo but requests more blade pictures. Should seller accept and lower offer as Hamfish suggested leave it alone and enjoy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swords Posted May 2 Author Report Share Posted May 2 I got some pictures of the kissaki and boshi Boshi dosnt look to show the hamon continue turned back or not there ? Maybe bad pictures It looks like some minor pitted or stained as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwmc Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Fairly typical war type polish. Hamon mostly visible, appears to be faint yakote, of course a bit of rust for unrestored war time blade, probably would consider average to low average blade condition. $2000 maybe???

Swords Posted May 5 Author Report Share Posted May 5 The pitting and or rust is what kept me from buying While I’m posting Nagamitsu I am thinking of buying this one so I thought I would get a few opinions It army with 4 kaji To me it looks like a nice clean one but can’t seem to get some better pictures Steve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
