    Thanks Mark, I couldn't figure out how he came up with the Tane and now I know it's wishful thinking. Appreciate the help, Howard Dennis

    That was my thoughts as well. I think possibly bit & abumi? I tried to locate that theme but turned up nothing. Howard Dennis

    My latest sword is a 16 inch wakizashi with handachi mounts and it came with a heavy iron Mokko tsuba. I'd like to know what the engraved theme represents , if possible. The tsuba weighs 6.5 oz. and is 66.5 mm wide by 70.5 tall. Is this the only style tsuba that would have been used or would a round tsuba have been used as well? Thanks in advance for any help, Howard Dennis

    Thanks Ray, I knew I was probably shooting myself in the foot by asking such a vague question but I will probably end up with this by next week BUT it's not finalized yet so I don't want to jinx the deal by releasing too much information yet. I promise I'll tell all if I end up with it as it will be the best sword I've ever owned. Guess in my excitement I'm suffering from "premature evaluation" ! Howard Dennis

    Looking at an Oei Period tachi with NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon Kanteisho AND an appraisal by Cary Condell in 2001 saying sword's value was $25,000. My question is where would that value likely be in today's market? Just looking for a rough idea. Howard Dennis

    Would like to learn what this bonji translates to and it's meaning. Thank You, Howard Dennis

    To be perfectly honest I'm insulted by your insinuation. I'm not selling this I just bought it. The discovery of this pocket was entirely accidental while I was trying to clean my new purchase. The seller never mentioned it's presence and I doubt if he even knew it was there. That's my opinion.

    What is a knock up?

    Since these swords were last carried over a century and a half ago does ANYONE actually know the history of their sword?
