    Radioactive Tosogu?

    This has all nothing to do with the initial thema. I see Godzilla coming.

    Radioactive Tosogu?

    Has anyone other than Kantaro taken measurements? I don't think this has anything to do with atomic bombs or power plant accidents. Moreover, the Tsuba do not date from the 2011 timeframe.
  4. nice one John.

    Thanks Kantaro I measure between 0.20µSv and 0.26µSv on that tsuba In the room, I have 0.11µSv – 0.15µSv normal.

    I have two, because one of them is already nearly 20 years old, and I don't know how long the Geiger tubes last. Now I have a new one as well. However, the readings from the old one are still accurate.
  7. Just for fun, I took some measurements of my collection using two different Geiger counters. I noticed that the old *tsuba* actually registered slightly elevated radiation levels. One Tsuba from the Muromachi period, featuring gold inlay, really started clicking away. Everything is still well within the safe range — but where does it come from?
  8. Some smith before showa experimented with oil hardning. But your sword looks like a wartime showa-to.
  9. Interesting blade. Maybe late nambokucho period. But die pictures should be better. I wonder why all that interest is in the fittings. Its a nice old blade.
  10. It's an older nihonto blade in gunto (wartime mountings) koshirae.
  11. Looks like a nice Type94 Koshirae. For the blade you must show it full naked to see more. Its an old blade yes. But we need to see more.
  12. It is not a Gendaito.
  13. Is he wearing his aviator goggles backwards?

    Oh dear!

    It's not mine unfortunately. Picture is from the cambridge museum, but i like it very much and search further for a tsuba like this.

    Oh dear!

    The same ones from 2024 ??
  17. Welcome back Joe!
  18. It says Owari, Owari Kanagushi? Akikusa (autumn gras)? That Tsuba and the Fuchi/Kashira would match perfect together. Beautiful.
  19. I'm not sure about that stamp Rawa. I think its an india made replica This is the nakago of the sword https://www.proxibid.com/lotinformation/99580927/rare-late-wwii-Japanese-army-type-95-wood-pineapple-handle-nco-katana-with-scabbard
  20. Looks like garage made.
  21. Never had a chance to pick up something from him. Everything disappears immediately after it appears on the page. The prices are out of this world.
  22. Marcin, It looks more like an o-wakizashi to me.
