the lack of tsuba i was thinking if was donne on purpose because the taste of the owner, seems that all katana fits well like a more hidden wakisashi or something like that, the kashitra and fuchi is a wood made or a simple metalic piece? i cant see it well. the habaki seems rare too, the thing is i liked the originality thinking was do on porpouse, like personalized zippos in wwII all diferents, not a creap arrengement. thnk you rokujuro, what do you think of my thoughts?

thanks Jussi and want do you thing about the blade and the delamination?

hi, i see this nihonto and i want to know your opinion about it and the price i can pay, can you help me to translate the mei too? thanks! edo first, muromachi maybe? thank you

no i only readed the ebay description bellow.

hi stephen, yeah this like me too much but the problem is that is small size, for tanto. the other is 3'7 cm, this is 3,5 i think but the size i need maybe 4 cm for the katana koshirae, whats your opinion about the size?

Thanks george thats exactly what im asking, thanks for your advice. If you know where i can find a dragon composition of good quality please let me know, the size i need is for a katana not tanto or wakisashi. now the prize that bidder are asking is 163 dollars so i supposed is very expensive. i m visiting aoi but well or expensive ones or i really dont liked too much, apreciated for your coment!

Another question, the size for a katana fuchi, 3,7cm is correct or is for a wakisashi?

Thanks, i take a look now, my question is if you bought it, if you think its a old eso one or a modern replica, the price you payed, etc. I really liked dragon theme. I look many tipes of all kind of fuchikashira but still dificult to distinguish that things, of course i can see a really beautiful one and see that its amazing but some others mabye espectacular for someone to me seems, well only ok, thanks for give me your impressions

Hi, i see that fuchikashira, but first i wann to ask to more experienced people, can you tell me something about that? edo era? the price you paied for, if you payed something, etc. very apreciated! i like the others (flowers) too, to me seems more quality but i preffer the dragons style. thak you guys!

THank you for your comments, at the moment i will wait to think about what koshirae i want, indeed i like my katana, is my first original, im sure that is not a copy, in spain at least not are many marquet so the price i ask to a profesional i knew with many years and told me that the price was fine, not high not low, the original price was 2480 but ask for 2150, the horimono is true that is not the best one but i really liked i cant do that not even in dreams so i apreciate the art, is not a 30k katana i now it i dont pretend that i want i original katana i see many with oxide with higher price, well very apreciated for the adviced, but for a real katana of 1935 with horimono im happy even not the better forger still hard job, appart of that i buy a muromachi wakisashi for 1k that really like two. Thanks again i will pass of the tsuba etc, katana too late but still realy liked, every katana found their owner, she foundme yet

thank you for your response, the tsuba is arround 100 dollars, i supposed that is not a really hand made tsuba cause with this works the prices increasses a lot, but i dont know exactly the kind of tsuba, i dont wantr a reproducction, but i see some edo tsubas that serialiced for tachis, etc. i really dont know nothing about this, thansks again!

hi, im newby in the forum, hashimemashite. the thigs is i allready bought a showa katana i payed 2150 dollars )and i want prepare a Koshirae for it. i see a few tsubas but is a really big world, i dont care the coetanian period of this one really, i aleady bought a muromachi wakisashi with papelrs , this want i want make it of my style. i found a tsuba but really dont know if its shiiremono, reproduction, or what, but i like it, the carps and the dragon fits well thinking in chinesse story of the carps to climb the river transform itsaelfs in dragons etc. i send the photos can you tell me more or less the price i can pay as max, and the tipe of tsuba and fuchi, etc? thank you very much
