  2. Hello Grey, thanks. I did some research in the swordsmith index, but no Hiromitsu signes only the Nijimei.
  3. I know the second is Mitsu but the first ?? I did search a little bit and is it HiroMitsu? How can i find out witch one it is??
  4. Hello Brian, thats clear, but is the tang chopped it looks like some parts of the mei are missing.
  5. Still looking for my first wakizashi buy. My budget is limited and I stumbled upon this one. The tang looks like its been chopped??
  6. Hello John, thanks, I'm learing a lot on this board. The prices of Japanese swords are much higher in my country. For a Mumei type 98 Gunto out of polish the asking price is over $ 1000. I have made an apointment with the seller to see this Wakizashi in the flesh.
  7. Jean and John thanks for the response. What do you think of this blade? http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/16934-opinion-asked/ Both are for sale in my country and are in the same price range 500-550 $.
  8. Thanks, I want to buy this Wakazashi for the blade if its made bij Fuguwara Kaneyasu. So Brian says its real and Steve and Jean think its Chinese.

    Whats your opinion about this Wakizashi? Place of the Habaki looks a little strange to me. http://www.marktplaats.nl/a/antiek-en-kunst/antiek-overige/m935838410-antieke-japanse-arimitsu-wakizashi-500-jaar-oud-new-polish.html?c=80906a7f13ccf514b11788e5504db095&previousAction=asqSent
  21. I removed the leather wrap, the laces where to far gone and i couldn't save them. I put the wrap in a leather softener. 3 old iron tires and one new are wrapped around the Tsuka. I handmade a "mekugi" and made a real tight fit cause the Tsuka never has to come of again. Now some new leather laces and try to rescue the wrap.
  22. Thanks for the response, i want to place a mekugi so i have to peel the leather wrap.
  23. Any tips how to remount the Tsuka??
  24. I was pretty sure the koshirae was real, i took a gamble on the blade. Glue removed. The blade fits perfect in the Saya.
  25. Arived today, bought for 275 dollar. Little bit disappointed cause the Tsuka is not mounted with mekugi. I think somebody took of the Tsuka to look for a signature and glued it back!!??? How to fix this problem, i think i have to remove the leather of the Tsuka. But first the main question, is it a Gunto or a fake?? Total length in Koshirae is 37 inch. Here some pics.
