    There was supposed to be more in that reply, but Shodai Yasutsugu was a very much a Keicho era smith and Nanban Tetsu has a broad meaning not just limited to Dutch or Portugese trade.

    If you can provide pictures of the full sword and mounts it would be appreciated. Whereabouts in Australia are you located?
  4. PNSSHOGUN
    We're all eagerly awaiting seeing the dagger in a fresh polish....
  5. PNSSHOGUN
    The patches on the shinogi appear to be muneyaki.
  6. PNSSHOGUN
    Look forward to pictures of the sword, sounds like an excellent example.
  7. PNSSHOGUN
    Was under the impression that supporting information would be old Honami papers, historical records, Daimyo inventory tags, Sayagaki, and other evidence in that realm.

    It was a Mumei Gendai:

    Agree with Nathaniel, uma-ha came to mind immediately. Compare to a Gendai I used to own:

    In honour of this achievement can we at least update the title to spell his name right....

    Certainly an impressive Sugata, as others have mentioned the deki is rather uninspiring. The more you study good swords, the more you'll start to appreciate why there are many undesirable features in this sword.

    Before you get too carried away with vivid notions of generations of Samurai charging into battle on this, it very much appears to be a pack saddle: https://www.thelongridersguild.com/oriental-wonder.htm https://auctionet.com/en/2897564-pack-saddle-konida-gura-Japan-edo-period

    Well you can be safe in the knowledge that it's a real Japanese sword, whether or not it was actually made by the smith on the Nakago is a completely different matter. As one of the most faked smiths in history, the chances of it being authentic are perishingly small.

    Good mounts can be an indicator of a decent blade, but never a guarantee.
  15. PNSSHOGUN
    The more examples that are shown it would appear it was simply a nicer version, hence why often seen on better than average mounts.
