David, The following thread might be interesting for you. Regards, Ed -
I was reading some old books and noticed a nice tsuba with a VOC- ship. It has also a square hole in the middle of the nakago hitsu ana. Not much information about the tsuba and the book is printed in Japanese with only a few English sentences.

Hi John, thank you very much for help. I was thinking tomokata but tomotaka or tomoyohi can also be possible. Hard to read. Thanks again for your help. It's highly appreciated. Regards, Ed

I'm trying to read the signature and struggling with the last part of it. Choshu Ju Tomo ? Thanks in advance, Ed

Just finished watching this nice lecture by Markus Sesko. If you haven't seen it before, don't wait and watch it now :-)

Thank you very much Steve. That's really impressive. Personally, I thought it would be impossible to read. Regards, Ed

Hi Bruno, I was not expecting a masterpiece at all. I try to read the mei to improve my skills. I bought the kozuka because I liked the design and the price was right. Not because it was signed. For me personally buying high end items is risky and out of reach. Thanks for all the information provided.
-
Thank you Bruno for the additional information. The way it's signed suggests the 3rd master but I doubt if this piece is a true masterpiece. Still a nice kozuka.

Thank you very much Piers!

Yesterday, I have found a nice kozuka. It's signed and I think the signature is Nara Toshinaga but I'm not 100 percent sure. All help will be highly appreciated.

"a new stainless steel Japanese sword"
EdWolf replied to saemonjonosuke's topic in Military Swords of Japan
Reportedly, the new sword is also unbreakable. That's interesting. I have never seen a broken stainless steel blade but I assume you guys have seen some. -
Some really nice items posted! I didn't find many last year. Only a few items but I like them.

Yesterday I have found some nice things (a few kozuka and a few kashira). About this one I'm excited and I want to share it with you. The carving is nicely done. On the back is a makers seal. Unfortunately unidentified for now. Please feel free to comment. Regards, Ed

Chameleon dark has still the same font size but the dimensions dark has now a larger font size. Much better for me! I'll use dimensions dark theme now. Thanks.

Brian, Thanks for your quick response. I don't think it's available on tablets. I shall try to modify the theme on my pc later.
