  9. Think would be interested analyseing a shinshinto Naotane, but more relevance in analyseing a koto blade ..?? Does a collector fear that investigation..? May be a bavarian collector are willing to test his koto sword in Garching. Best
  10. MLZ could be the fellow in Germany/Europe.. https://mlz-garching...erion_online_eng.pdf Best
  11. Giordy, I was the first one to go off topic, so no problem. I do not see the loss of human kantei/shinsa culture, only the high end items will have a neutron tomographie and the human shinsa. So the juyo and upper classes will be more expensive, but seller and buyer got an fantastic sword history without „bleeding or destroying“ the blade. Best PS: try to get more info about the costs..

    HI Richard, (very) late answer.. Gyoyo alternative crest of the Tachibana family Best Peter
  13. You have to google.. Japanese Swords in the Collection of the Tachibana Family Best
  14. You can buy paperd items directly in Japan. Best
  15. White paper Nr. 42..The very early papers are not bad IMO. If the blade was polished „previously“ we have the price range.
