Here are a few teaser photos of the blades that go with my kaigunto and shingunto koshirae. Hoanh Kaigunto: Yoshu Hiromasa:

Thank you Hamish. Hoanh

Here are photos of the tsuba at different angles and locations. I would be interested to learn your opinions. Regards, Hoanh

I have a shingunto tsuba that looks like copper. The seppa dai, covered for years by the seppa, also shows copper color. It's hard to take a good look on the walls of the nakago ana, but I will take macro photos and post tomorrow. Regards, Hoanh

Greetings, How common is it to see a pierced shingunto copper tsuba? And all fittings on a shingunto koshirae (including menuki) made of copper? Regards, Hoanh

Inspired by Stephen's newly arrived Yoshu Hiromasa (http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/18811-just-in-hiromasa/?do=findComment&comment=193834): Here is my own beautiful Yoshu Hiromasa in excellent original WWII polish & shingunto mounts in outstanding original condition: Very nice mumei koto blade in kaigunto koshirae - beautiful menuki with mon, both seppa retain original gold wash and red lacquer, tsuka and saya in outstanding condition: Hoanh

Stephen, Congratulations on a very nice sword!! I have a Hiromasa in gunto mount that I purchased about a year ago - lovely choji midare with plentiful ashi. Hoanh

Well said, Daniel. Hoanh

Hi Stephen, Thanks for the kind comment. I hope it finds a good home. Hoanh

Peter, Just to clarify the AOI appraisal, did you purchase the blade from AOI or did you only send it to AOI for appraisal? Happy Holidays, Hoanh
