    Yes it does have papers Tbk from the NTHK NPO. There appears to be a lot of dust but it's mostly the sprinkled nie all over the blade

    Thank you Chris.... What can you tell me by looking at the photos posted? By the way were you the gentleman who was at the shinsa down stairs handing the papers and swords to the sword owners? Dan

    With the numbers I posted above is Yasuyoshi an exception? Dan
  7. Medina San1
    So was he as good as say the other Yasuyoshi I mentioned above as the numbers given by Hawley, Toko Taikan FS as the numbers match both Koto?

    Why do the Japanese sword collectors turn their noses at Kaifu swords?

    Kaifu Swords

    Medina San1 posted a topic in Nihonto

    Quick question on Kaifu Awa Yasuyoshi… After doing a little reading I find a little passage that states that Dr. Honma of the NBTHK describes the work of Awa Yasuyoshi as being similar in style to that of Go Yoshihiro? In Hawley’s he is rated at 60, the Toko Taikan Yen 3M, FS 300 and Jo Saku yet the Japanese don’t look at it Highly and he is even rated as high as the first Yasuyoshi of Nagato from the Samonji school Shohei era.??? Maybe not so quick a question.. . I’ve added 3 photos for discussion. Dan

    Thank you.... you are right I did take the photos in a dark room with a flash and reg room light... I will retake the photos in day light and try to an educated guess at which ones are not cast. Dan...

    That's O.K. this was my first papered sword I've had it for about 17 years. I'm learning and getting at better at collecting. Dan
  19. Medina San1
    Hello to all I have added a couple of new photos. Dan
  20. Medina San1
    Thank you all for being so helpful. I'm starting to learn a little and hope some day to understand better at what i'm looking at. I posted the photos I took of the Sadakazu nakago. I'm going to see if I'll be able to photograph the sword. Dan
  21. Medina San1
    your thoughts and comments on this nakago are welcome, what do you think? Dan
  22. Medina San1
    Hello to all thank you very much for all your assistance in the translating department. This nakago was very easy to translate as it was so clean and done with authority the strokes look very strong. I opened the Nihonto Kuza and it was the very first picture I saw. I will need to take another look at the blade it was in the Kamakura style I think. Dan
  23. Medina San1
    I'm doing this for an acquaintance.. he has two swords this one and a Gassan Sadakazu.. The gassan was easier to translate this one not so easy for me. Someone cleaned the nakago So far I came up with Koyama Bezen Munetsugu. the date part is giving me problems... I have picks of the Nakago only... I can post pic of the Gassan Nakago if you guys want.. Thank you Dan

    Good morning to all. I arrived late 2pm on Sunday and still got to see some really nice things. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. This was only my second Shinsa, and I was very happy with the outcome of the blade I submitted. I had no idea of what I had I just know it looked good to me. And I only had it for a couple of days. Nidai Omi Daijo Tadahiro 74 pts. I’m a happy Camper. Dan
