Tanto saya with same mon stamped randomly approx 20 times. I like it and have not seen this before. I am shore you guys will have seen this before so was interested in what you think.

I see why you think that but normal thickness. I think it looks deeper than it is.

I Know most are spurious. This is my first with real mei.

Wow. Top smith. Are there more fittings with this blade ?. Very nice piece on its own.

If you sent it to England first tax would be 5% on antiques

Thanks again guys. It looks like it might be a nice blade but needs a polish. I bought it for the mounts. Waves in silver, 3rd gen Ishiguro Masatsune.

Thanks guys.

Shown this one before. Had it about a year, still one of my favourites.

I thought the word shibuichi means three quarter. I assumed (which is probably where i got in trouble) that it means 75% copper 25% silver. If other metals are added this would make a difference.

Adam. I just formed my opinion from a topic. What shibuichi looked like when new. In tosogu 1 september 2015. Some one called Ford Hallum.

Nice tsuba. Kao does not seem to match mei.

I used to have a metal detector. In the new forest found lots of pennies, hundreds of musket balls, a few crotal bells and a jews harp. Oh and half a sterling silver cigarette case. However having your eyes on the ground does bring some other surprises. A flint arrow head and pixie loaf (fossil).
-
Can we see the tsuba please

Copper with gold leaf. Amazing amount of work just for a habaki.
