    Sugata, could be Momoyama.

    These are presentation swords, from the early Showa Period. Most came with Showa To, however, I have seen one with a Gendaito.

    What's the old saying? You can lead a horse to water..........

    Michael, I agree with you there. Just because there is an accepted date, doesn't mean that everything changed overnight. I have another one I find interesting. I have a Harima Ujishige katana dated 1789. By the date, it's classed as Shinshinto, however, I would still class it as Shinto.

    I have a Dotanuki Kozukenosuke. According to records and book listings, he listed as Shinto, 1596- 1615. However, the Sugata, is definitely Momoyama! Personally, I would still class this sword as Koto. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a nengo.

    It looks like a Chinese copy.

    Osuriage, cut down from a Katana, maybe. Also, it looks like the kissaki has been re-shaped.

    USPS, is being gutted on purpose. They want privatisation.

    O-Mokume?

    David Flynn replied to Nicholas's topic in Nihonto

    Looks like late Edo Mino, to me.

    He wants to know about the durability, I think.
  12. David Flynn
    I haven't seen one for awhile. They usually have Mokume or Omokume hada, with a Mino style Hamon and Hataraki.
  13. David Flynn
    John, I think you mean Late Meiji. His first ten years are classed as Shinshinto.
  14. David Flynn
    Signed Kanemichi, or Kanenao .

    I have been receiving unsolicited messages from someone, even though I have asked them to stop.
