  1. I don't think the appraiser knows much. I don't think he can tell the difference between Yamashiro, Yamato and Mino.

    Japanese Sword

    G'day Hal, Where in Oz are you? I'm in Sydney if I can help.
  3. Need more photos. At a quick glance, to me it appears to be, Late Muromachi or early Shinto.
  4. Don't forget, the sword market is depressed at present.
  5. The only background on them, is that I bought them as is. Kozuke Daijo Sukesada, is the pre-eminent, Shinto Sukesada. Plenty of info on him on Google and the Nihonto Club.
  6. A friend asked me to take some photo's of my Daisho for him, so why not also share here.
  7. It's not a Fukure, it's a Kitae Ware and it's fatal.
  8. Kanemoto, Showato.
  9. Generally used as a pocket for coins.
  10. Gassan Sadakazu and Gassan Sadakatsu.
  11. Steve, it appears you are suffering from ignorance, topped with arrogance. Why not ask Woody if it's a Showato?
  12. Steve, your comment to Vajo, is like the pot calling the kettle black. I also vote for Showato.
  13. Brian, it looks like it had a stamp removed.
  14. Check that it doesn't have a Stamp or had one removed.
  15. Hy Dylan, not mass produced. This is a Gendaito, by Kanehisa, who was a good smith.

    Large Tanto ?

    I think it's a Wak,
  17. everything is due for a re-set.
  18. We really need to see the whole Hamon for context. However, a quick guess, Juka Choji.
  19. From what I've noticed is, the Market is soft on everything except top end stuff.
  20. Maybe Itame Nagare.
  21. What you are seeing as Masame, could be Chikei.
