Thank you so much for all the help guys, really appreciate it.

Hi everyone So, i just won an unexpected auction, a total of 11 pieces. I'm kind of a noob in this world, as some might have noticed Any information will be very appreciated Supposedly from edo period. Noticed that one of the kozuka is signed. Value? I haven't received the items yet. Very curious about the kogatana blade ( not sure that's the right term....). Don't know if it's signed yet. I'm very grateful for being able to asked question to people much more knowledge then myself. Only have these to pictures at the moment Thank you so much

First, I apologize for the poor quality pictures. I'm looking for any information that can be shared. I'm a total noob, at best. Dated to be made ca early 1500. From a private collection in Europe. Unsigned. Has a sticker on it that says muramasa I think? Worth 400 usd? Have great weekend Thanks a bunch Lukas

Diffently possible I have 2 very old engraved bokuto (edo). but yes it's difficult. Usually auctions in Japan. Thanks a lot

Hi everyone, Hope everyone is having a nice summer. I'm sure if this is the correct thread to post my question. If not, I do apologize Question; I've recently been trying to require older bokkens. Haven't found that many so i wanted to try here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best regards Lukas Gerdin white

Hi, Hope everyone is having a great summer. I am in need of expert advice on a possible wakisahi purchase. The seller is asking for 5000 usd Much appreciated Lukas

Okay, great. Thanks a lot for the advice, Brian.

Hello everyone, I apologize for my absence in the thread. Regarding the waki: the seller and I went back and forth, as I presented the new information I had gathered. Negotiations kinda stopped, but yesterday he contacted me with a new offer. 1500 usd. Might take it, we live close so shipping will be very cheap. Should o grab it? I'm thinking about it. I was gonna wait and try to purchase it for 1200 and also tell him that he can keep the kozuka/kogatana that he keep speaking of. Perhaps a tad too much. I hope everyone hade a great and long weekend. All the best, Lukas

Thank you for the quick response. No didn't pay anything, was just curious. Thanks you for clearing that up. Best regards.

Maybe a better pic?

I know that is very very hard to give credible information just by looking at a picture, but I though I'd give it a try (received a lot help on my last post). The tang has A mitsu-momi, which I read is rather rare. Thank you very much! Happy easter or/and have a great weekend
