  1. There are a number of photos of Meito on sho-shin.com that are noted as being gifted to Emperor Meiji, a few of those mentioned above show up if doing a site search. Chogi Haito Sword of Emperor Meiji Chogi Nagasa: 71cm Sori: 2.3cm Standing Itame Hada with JiNie, Chikei and standing Utsuri. Bo-Hi and Sobi run the length. Gunome-Midare ba moves inside a Notare line. There is Ashi and Yo and Kinsuji through the Mid. Yakiba widens in the Monouchi. Boshi is deeply set O-Gunome Midare mound turns to an abrupt Kaeri. Suriage Nakago has two Mekugi-ana and Bo-Hi resolves in Marudome. Signed in the Ji at the bottom: Bizen-no-Kuni Osafune Ju Nagayoshi (Chogi)
  2. We would all love to see the entire Tsunagi and Koshirae someone thought worthy enough to make it for.
  3. Looks like the style of Koshirae made by Wakase Fittings Company, may be something promising.
  4. Officers with Type 94, again note Kyu Gunto knots:
  5. Prince Yasuhito, note the parade knot on his Type 94:
  6. Unfortunately this is common for Japanese dealers who don't have good English reps. Basically if there is nothing to update the buyer about (export papers - out of the dealers control) then there's no reason to message. You will find similar experiences with other Japanese dealers, it's frustrating but not likely malicious.
  7. Last three: 永兼銘? Interesting looking sword, can we see the rest of it along with the mounts?
  8. Would a kind soul please confirm this owners name and Kanji?
  9. Original photos of unidentified General officers:
  10. Officers with Type 94 and Kyu Gunto dress knots:
  11. It may qualify as a 兼用刀 - combination sword : http://ohmura-study.net/210.html
  12. I suspect this isn't a dress sword, but a proper sword meant for combat.
  13. Looks typical of amateur sharpening or cutting of abrasive items.
  14. While the Mei is certainly ambitious, the blade appears to be a real Japanese sword. The Horimono appear good at first glance but the quality isn't particularly impressive.
