    I would appreciate assistance with the translation of the inscriptions on the nakago.

    Bruce you would be providing the details needed to improve the fakes. I worry about being so specific.

    You are looking at a poor Chinese copy of a Japanese-like sword.

    There is a club in Toronto at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre, where we have meetings. Whenever, I see a Canadian on nmb I send them a pm providing some information on the club. If they show interest I add them to our email list. I also send them some recent emails sent to members. At our first meeting since the start of the pandemic we had two new file come to the meeting.

    New Tosogu Quality

    b.hennick replied to vajo's topic in Tosogu

    I agree. They will be bought, enhanced, and resold many times.

    I too collect tsuba and live in Ontario Canada.

    I wish you a speedy and full recovery.

    This is an amazing opportunity for those of you who collect in this area. It is rare to see swords like these for sale. It is not my area of collecting or I would be gathering funds for a special purchase. Good move Eric and Matt. There will be hard work ahead. I wish you both the best.

    If he was not good, he would not have a backlog.

    b.hennick replied to Stephen's topic in Tosogu

    I would call it the good bye wave tsuba.
  17. b.hennick
    How about a messedwith Tenbo tsuba? When in doubt go Shoami.

    As I wrote in February, Fred Geyer is a stand up guy.

    Miikie blades often have a very wide bohi. You can see one here:
  21. b.hennick
    You can hire Kelly Schmidt to do that for you.

    It was never my sword. I was just trying to help someone learn about his sword.

    Hi Bruce: I hope that you are aware of the translation of a book on Yasakuni blades on the JSSUS website. Here isa link http://www.jssus.org/yasakunito.pdf

    Keith not Kieth ... :-)

    Both Brian Tschernaga and John Tirado can do the work. Brian can also probably get you matching fittings with the motif you want. High quality work is not cheap. Both have never disappointed me.
