    Agree with Jean, it has all the hallmarks of Shinto Takada. The Bonji is a nice touch, it appears it was always meant to be under the Tsuka.

    The geometry for a Yokote is there but it's been worn down from the looks of it.

    You will probably have better luck finding a set of Type 3 fittings that will fit this Sugata. It will be somewhat of a wild goose chase with high potential of spending more on the fittings than you have on the blade.

    There is a channel that does destructive tests on modern martial arts swords, striking the sword on the Mune against a hard object causes catastrophic failures in a very short time. https://www.youtube.com/@Matthew_Jensen/videos

    Given the early nature of the fittings it would more likely to have been taken to China.

    Well if that's the case we must inform the NBTHK, NTHK (+NPO), and all other invested organisations or individuals, that this whole Kantei business has been a colossal waste of time and to cease operations immediately.....!

    Remarkable example, it's an early Type 94 from a particular sword shop I've seen other good quality examples from in the past. The only thing that gives me pause on the originality of the colour is the gold/copper paint on all fittings.

    Attractive fittings but without any solid provenance it can be difficult for collectors to bid.

    Comparison with standard General grade tassel.

    Another example of this tassel:

    If memory serves me right it may have originated from larger Daimyo collections.

    You will find this from many other sword shops, a subtle sign of quality.

    Little Sori was popular during Kanbun Shinto, and later Shin Shinto.

    Hi Geoff, try taking a photo so the light is angled along the Hamon rather than head on.

    That is an absolutely absurd sum for a Koshirae, leave him to his delusions.
