Hi, A Tatara Nagayuki oshigata (come from the book "les sabres Shinto" written by Serge Degore):
-
Hi Thierry, Nakago jiri (kurijiri) and yasurime (not so deep) don't match. I have some oshigata that i will post tomorrow.
-
Bad quality blade to my eyes, too much flaws, kissaki seems reshaped, and the blade is over polished. Sorry for my sincerity :?
-
Hi, Zenon told me that he does not want any more polish jumonji yari because those "eat" too much stones
-
Hi, Brian, you says : Nie implies a hardening, tsuba can be hardened? i thought that they always must remain soft and unbreakable.
-
Hi, The seller maybe just makes confusion between rust and nie i sniff the blond
-
Hi, Would you mean that you paid for one item, and you recieved another wich don't correspond?
-
Hi, And are here :D :
-
Hi, Oh, it is a katana... so the mei is at the wrong place (Tadayoshi school signed long blades in tachi-mei)
-
Hi, Very interesting :D The nioiguchi seems deep and the ko-nie well spread. Thank you very much Remy
-
Hi, Very easy to explain, the nakago of your blade has a big lack of "elegance". Tadayoshi's nakago are long and very well done with a relatively narrow nakago-jiri Un exemple coming from the book "the school of Hizen Tadayoshi" written by Roger Robertshaw Just a question, is it a katana or a wakizashi?
-
Hi, Very nice tsuba :D If i'm not wrong the mei reads Goshu Hikone Ju Soheishi Nyudo
-
Hi, Nice blade of shodai Tadakuni, Best photos would be really well liked to admire this hada. :D
-
Hi, Just looking at the nakago shape you can see it is gimei :lol:
-
-
Hi, Mei reads HIZEN NO KUNI NO JU TADAYOSHI Think it's 100% gimei (false)
-
Hi, Wich Tada? 祇 - 矩 - 兄 - 周 - 但 - 旦 - 忠 - 偵 - 田 - 土 - 督 - 妙 - 矢 - 亘 - 尹 - I personally don't find one (it's true that i've old eyes :D) I have also checked the Yoshitada smiths, i've found 2, one in Enpo -Tenna (oshigata) and one in Genroku; both use this kanji 忠 Edit, There is a third Yoshitada in Showa era, a sword with the mei Hizen Kuni Yoshitada and dated from 1945 is extant.
-
Hi, This blade looks like this one : Wich is a showato :lol: Reinhard, here is a Bungo yukihira mei (early kamakura) this one looks like a mei It's not perfectly engraved but it means something . On our "mistery blade" the second kanji means nothing

Gendaito or shinto on eBay?
Jacques replied to Marius's topic in Auctions and Online Sales or Sellers
Hi, Seems to have some ware on this blade, one on the shinogi (center of the pic number 7) and one on the shinogi ji (pic number 2 center of the katana-kake). -
Hi, About the mei i've zoomed it You can see the chisel strokes clearly and i think it is definitively a "funny mei"
-
Hi, this blade is tori-sori, suriage, and not so old (yasurime are visible easily) To my eyes the mei is a "funny one"
-
Hi, Seems only a date.. Showa ??? + arsenal stamp. It seems to be a machine forged blade, not a traditional nihon-tô
-
Hi, Tango no kami kanemichi was the fourth son of the founder of the Mishina school he lived in settsu (Osaka) since Kanei to Kanbun, his first name was Naomichi. There were five generations of Tango Kanemichi. You are a lucky man this blade looks good and the boshi is a typical mishina's one (with hakikake). Just a bemol, it is slighty suriage.

Hi, Sorry, there are 3 pages :? but i can't see the first i suppose it contains all the informations.

Hi, Starting with the beginning (sugata-----> kamakura... muromachi...keisho shinto....etc...) would be better, More easy with the measureaments
