  1. I'm a little shoked now. He wants 1200 EUR.
  2. It's difficult. Brian you are right 52 cm. It's a wakizashi. With the Koshirae it's maybe for a tank comander or a pilot. Kissaki is damaged. Hamon is not to see anymore. It must be polished. was it a good smith? What you think about the price?
  3. First idea: Fujiwara Shigenori
  4. I need help. This sword is for offer. Koshirae is mixed with gunto parts. I think it is a gendaito sword.
  5. I don't know if i have a high class gunto. I love my little collection. Smith: Akihisa (RJT), Naotane, Yoshiharu, Kanenori, Kanesumi.
  6. I find that type 3 swords very nice. Searching for a good one
  7. Maybe we can say full traditionell with tamahagene and traditionell. What is when the smith uses not only tamahagene? Or he use a maschine hammer? And what is it when an ancient smith don't use tamahagene, but nails and other waste metals? Could be crazy sometimes.

    Old Tanto ?

    It's a nice Tanto Michael.
  9. Thanks a lot Brian for your informations.
  10. Thank you Brian. I thought without stamp it could be gendaito? I didn't find out which Sadamitsu has made this. There are a lot of smiths called sadamitsu. What is the fair price for a showa-to late '44 gunto?
  11. I'm interested in a late 44 gunto. Can you help me translate this from picture? There is no mark and no stamp on the nakago. It's offered for around 1.000 Dollar.

    Koshirae Project

    It is unbelievably beautiful
  13. Hello, i need 2 x screw for a late '44 tsuka. I didn't know the exact measurement but i think the measures in the picture will fit. Thanks Chris
  14. Or maybe some kind of lizzard? i tryed to make a better photo. If you go with the finger over it, it feels a little bit sharp.
  15. I didn't know if it helps. I have a Kane Nori. The Mon was removed i think. The same is - i didn't know. Maybe canvas, shark, celluloid?
  16. In untrained hands the best sword will be ruined. Japanese swords are totaly different from european swords. Many of the Japanese Soldiers didn't know how to handle thier swords in combat, like ancient samurai. In the hand of a well trained swordsman, the cheapest type 95 gunto was a deadly weapon every day in the war. So i didn't can follow the article. Thanks for the link.
  17. Thank you all for your advice and help. I made a experience and stop that deal with help from ebay germany. Happy new year. Chris
  18. Thank you for helping and clearing the view. To buying not over ebay or other auctions is difficult because there are so less gunto available. Brain thank you for the link to the other swords.But i like gunto swords because they are interesting for me. Maybe we have a different look on the same thing. Only the sword in Shirasaya is not very attractive for me to have a look on. For a real nihonto collector this is maybe not important.
  19. yes is from them. Do you think is a crime?
  20. I bought it now, $ 4.140,00 Maybe to much, but my first star stamped gunto. Thank you all for helping me. Happy new year. Cheers Chris.
  21. Yes condition looks very good for me. The fitting is not so high valueable. Only small same eyes. Tsuba with 4 Seppa washer. But with a massive sarute and a little damaged blue brown tassel. The first price was 6k. I didnt think that he give me that sword for $2000.
  22. Thank you a lot for helping. Is the number on the nakago a registration number? Can i ask what you think is a fair price for both sides? I plan to buy it.
  23. I hope someone can help me. I read Sadaroku. On the nakago is a star stamp and a number. The nakago looks very clean. I din't find out if Sadaroku was a swordsmith of yasukuni shrine, so is this blade traditionell made? What does the signature mean. Pictures are a little big. The blade looks lovely for me. The koshirae is not very eye catching.
  24. English is not my native language. But i think i understand. Thanks for help.
