Fantastisches schwert Volker, in fabelhafter condition…. I am trying to get good Gendaito in the Netherlands, but you are certainly doing a good job in Germany. Keep it on and keep the pictures coming

Nice one George!

Hi Bruce, no star stamp on this one. cheers, Leen

Help me identify if fake or authentic sword ?
Leen replied to IndranK's topic in Military Swords of Japan
Those are replica’s, tell tale signs are that the missing of a habaki, and the kanji on the blade which real nco’s didn’t have -
Schade to late for this tsuba. Good it found a new home

Marktplaats is a Dutch eBay like site. People are still bidding and it is indeed around €2000 right now 😉 By the way what does flummoxed mean 😉

Well it seems a nice mystery. PNSSHOGUN s hypotheses sounds very probable (of that is correct English 😃)
-
Still the nan in Bruce’s post are markedly different. My Koa isshin also has no nan, and....is dated

I thought I recognized it, it’s on a Dutch eBay like site. Marktplaats. I also doubted it, very well made and on the other hand. To many red flags. But people are bidding like crazy on marktplaats.

Great to see those example Volker, and then to think they are located at my neighbour country 👍

This sounds great, thanks Malcolm.

So sad to hear, I to believe Mittens had the best possible human to be with.

As JP said, I hope Mittens recovers. All the best to you and Mittens.

Dear forum members, I was wondering if someone could help me with some extra information on the showa smith Mizuno Masanori. I have the following info myself: real name Mizuno Teizaburoh, born the 35th year of Meiji (1902), a pupil of Sakurai Msayuki and Morita Masamichi (Seidoh), living in Daido, Sakura-no-machi, Sakai City. just wondering if there is more on him. Much obliged, cheers Leen Leen

I got one on a Yasushige I own

Got to love those Mantetsu’s

In the evening I was struggling with the fading daylight and the camera and etc. Moritisugu Norisada, a lucky day in march 1942 I believe. The blade has some staining here and there, but also one of the nicer hamon I've ever seen live on a gendaito. Allthough that doesn't say very much, because the Netherlands is not the best country to see lots of gendaito in hand. I thought I'd share it with you guys.

I do have other swords with original tassels (the blue brown type). I was and still am thinking it’s a reproduction. At first sight but also having compared it to the other three original ones I have. Further research didn’t change my mind, allthough it was fun to do.
