    Hi, Please edit your post and ad your name per forum rules! The dirk is a late war one and not really hand bad but crude like all late stuff the Japanese made. Not bad for $50 though!

    I bought a group of swords the other day and one of them is really nice. Looks almost like a Chogi. What do you guys think? Thanks for looking!

    Nice score! Shape looks good and it has a high shinogi!

    Hi Lonnie, No need to removed the handle on this one. It wont reveal anything. As stated its a very nice last ditch sword and these are very collectable.

    I asked because I have hardly any oshigata examples for kunihiro. It is signed by the polisher on both sides. Arnold it looks like there is a mizukage, Anyway ill bring it to San Fransisco and you can have a look in person.

    Hi Geraint, Yes it is and the handle is quite large.

    Thanks Matt! Hi Arnold yes it is, The cutting edge is 20" long. Ill probably bright it to San Francisco with me if you want to have a look.

    Hi All, I bought a nice wakizahi this week that is signed Kunihiro tsukuru. It looks to be soshu and has mitsu mune. My question is any idea on which Kunihiro it is? Thanks in advance!

    I think it could easily be over turned if an attorney in the EU was up to challenging the trademark. In fact Fred Weissberg could probably challenge it and get it overturned as his web site has been online and trademarked Probably as long as this guy has been alive.

    There are swords like this but they wont have a serial number and the poorly struck misshaped arsenal mark.

    Looks like a nicely restored Gunto Koshirae to me.

    Tom I am sure you will be fine. Uber is a pretty efficient service.

    Very sad, especially when people feel that this is the best thing to do.

    Very sad news! Harry was the 1st guy to befriend me when I started collecting. We meet in the food court of the Japanese grocery store across the street from the old Chicago sword show in Arlington Heights IL. RIP Harry and condolences to his family!
