  1. The tassel indicates it was owned by a senior officer from Major to Colonel, was this a bringback piece from your family?
  2. These are rather uncommon, it's possible the Japanese officer originally served in China. As an aside, the order of the seppa is incorrect, there should be three of equal size on each side of the Tsuba.
  3. Same goes with Australia, there are no limitations currently known.
  4. Great result, look forward to seeing the Koshirae you had commissioned for it.
  5. These values are from the Toko Taikan, where listed Gendai smiths all start at one million yen. Kanemichi made good Gendai during the 30's, after that he appeared to have focused more on making Showato for the war effort and quality Gendaito are far less common.
  6. Navy officers reportedly complained about Kai Gunto tassels being too short when introduced, but this takes the cake.
  7. Came across additional photos of the Iwo Jima Sadakatsu mentioned above in this old thread:
  8. New host may be the only option, current one really seems to be struggling.
  9. This is an external mail client, no filters set and nothing in junk. Will contact their support and see if they can whitelist it.
  10. For the past couple of weeks there hasn't been any email notifications for messages, is this effecting anyone else? Notifications are turned on.
  11. Hello Terrance and welcome to the forum. Your sword looks to be an oil tempered example rather than a traditionally forged sword. The blue/brown tassel indicates the Japanese officer held a rank between Lieutenant-Captain.
  12. If you could implement that link property change to the old style of tiles everything would be perfect.
  13. Either a Gimei, or much later generation.
  14. Hello Scott, welcome to the forum. Unfortunately this is a chinese fake, of which they've been making for decades. https://www.jssus.org/nkp/fake_japanese_swords.html
  15. It appears the Tsuka and Tsuba are later additions, the proportions are all off compared to the Saya.
