Tachi with TWO Papers -- AVAILABLE

[matthewbrice]

1 antique Japanese tachi sword available.  This tachi is accompanied by two sets of papers.  Both the blade and the koshirae/mounts are papered.  

 

The tachi koshirae is adorned with Samurai family mons.  On the saya, gold and silver mons are finely lacquered.  Interestingly, the saya hangers are signed. 

 

The tsuba is noticeably large–with a handsome aged patina.  The mon on the tsuba is described as a ‘whirling log‘ in other cultures.  The koshirae is papered.  

 

The nakago/tang is mumei/unsigned.  The blade is identified in the shinsa papers as a Bizen tachi.  The blade has a bohi groove along its full length.

The blade measures 27 7/8″/71 cm (as measured properly with a tape pulled tight from the blade tip to the bottom of the notch in the habaki).

 

This sword has a suguha hamon.

 

Included with this tachi and two sets of papers is the wood tachi stand.  The tachi stand is adorned with Samurai mons.

 

 

CONDITION:

The sword is in original polish.  There are a few areas of carbon staining on the blade.

 

The mounts are in excellent condition.  This sword is guaranteed against fatal flaws like hagire, etc.

The hamon and boshi are perfectly healthy.  

 

 

On sale through Wednesday, January 21.  $4850 plus shipping
