Thank you. Is it possible to give an approximate price estimate?
-
O.k...... this would mean a time-period from 1596 - 1781 ? A quite long time for forging a sword.... Is Bungo Shigeyuki + Tomoshige the right maker?
-
I hope these pictures are better for a propper review.

This would mean early edo-period?

Hello, I´ve got this wakizashi for some years. Me was told, it is from the muromachi- period. Made by a sword-smith named Kunishige Tomoyuki. But now I´m not longer sure of this. Is it possible to say in what period this sword was made an from whom? I would appreciate your opinion. Thanks. Ed.
-
Thank you very much. What would be a fair price for this sword? Ed
-
It´s not my sword. It is offered to me for 1.400€. I will ask for better pics.

What are your thoughts? Could this mumei katana be an muromachi-era sword? In my opinion it should be late edo-era. What would be a fair price for the sword? Thanks Ed

I´ve purchased this sword. The nakago is mumei. It still have a nice polish despite of the rusty stains. The total length of the blade is 31,5 inch. Is it possible to estimate the right period? I presume it could be from the Edo-period. Am I right? How old is the tsuba? What shall I do with the rusty stains? Would it be worth to make a new polish? Ed

Is this wakizashi made by this smith? http://nihontoclub.com/smiths/KIY456 If yes, what does "niō" mean, and what is the meaning of the last kanji? Could the nakago be shortened??? ed
-
Thank´s very much. Sorry for my small provocative joke :lol: 200$ would be even o.k. for me :D Ed

So, here´re now some daylight closeups. Not perfect, but in spite of this I hope a clear determination will be possible. By the way.... this I´ve found today in WWW. Not the same but damned similar..... http://www.google.de/imgres?sa=X&biw=12 ... P8BEK0DMDY Ed
-
No, it looks like an "scratch" made by the smith. Ed
-
Thanks for your recommendation. I consider to purchase some good books, I think this one would be a good start. I will post some better daylight pics of the tsuba with good closeups. Perhaps then a clear determination will be sure possible. Ed

No, no, no.... Rust is not a good thing. By "bland," Mariusz meant absence of hammering marks, surface texture, iron bones, etc. Hoanh Ahhhh, o.k., now I understand. Yes, that is fact. My tsuba has nearly no manufacturing marks. That means the processing in early periods like muromachi was more crude? Ed
-
You mean the tsuba is not rusty enough.... Ed
-
Could this be an tsuba from the muromachi period? It´s from iron and mumei. Ed
