    Surely it's well-worth the waiting. Thanks for the info, Darcy.

    Thanks for sharing Rod. Very interesting.
  3. Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini
    Please let us updated about the project. I'm interested in a purchase. Have you considered the e-book solution ?

    thanks Paul. No specific therm for this shape ? Simply a votive Tanto ?
  9. Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini
    Hi all. Anybody here is able to say me the correct therm to call this votive blade ? Is it written in the Japanese caption and I'm not able to catch it ? Any help will be highly appreciated. thanks in advance. Carlo

    Serrated edge... quiet a rare fake...
  11. Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini
    Thanks for the info, Paul. Hope I'll be there. Eventually I'll get in touch with you. Cheers.

    Ed's suggestion make me wonder if it is still possible nowaday to shorten a blade maintaining the original Mei, i.e. if Orikaseshi/Gakumei practice is still applied. Pics of eventual present days made examples would be great.

    The same as Mike. If it's a chinese fake is the best I've ever seen...

    The dimension and placement of the two smaller holes is the thing that puzzle me. I've suggested to the owner they were made for a Shingunto mounting, being the last one in the same position of the Sarute, but it doesn't work... :? Otherwise I would have put my money on an old sword abused by a non-traditional polishing. I would like to see BOTH faces of the sword and what's under the Habaki.

    Hi Brian. Yes, I'm interested in armor too. Most of the Kawari-kabuto were either for "show-off" or to be recognized on the battlefield either by enemies and allieds. Of the above ones I think only the n.4, 7, 11 and the armor for Ashigaru (at left) in the 12° were intended for practical use. Many are Edo period, but extremely strange and scaring ones were made even in the Sengoku.

    Re-sized to be posted on another forum, better to use them twice :D Strange Armor and helmets, mainly from Stibbert Museum, Florence :

    If yu're asking in order to have a stronger mekugi then a bamboo one, I'm sure Keith Larman can address you to a super-strong mekugi made with modern materials.

    Not a specialist ? Lord, I wonder what a specialist is able to translate...
  21. Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini
    Hi Brian. That's the article I was talking about. It would be nice to have a pic of his work posted here.
