    Barn Find

    Before even considering it for restoration, The Rust in the Monouchi needs to be checked, to make sure it's not too deep.

    Also, check out the Gassan School thread.
  5. It's a Machiokuri Katana.
  6. 1st giveaway, the sword above is signed Katana Mei, where as Tadayoshi signed Tachi Mei.
  7. Eric, you wont get more than Hozon. Save your money.
  8. I have a Sukekane Katana, but it doesn't have a Tsuba like that
  9. This is becoming ridiculous. I believe it's time to close this thread.
  10. I have a Sukekane Katana with TH. From the limited photo's I've seen of the Hamon, it looks very similar to mine. I'd go, that it's probably Shoshin. However, the only way to make certain is Shinsa. Until then, every opinion (including mine) is hypothetical.
  11. Yes they are. In Japan, Gendaito are called Showato and Showato are called Gunto.
  12. Gendaito are Nihonto. For that matter, so are Showato.
  13. Reduced US$550 + P&H
  14. Reduced, US$550+ P&H.
  15. Some Smiths, made Gendaito and Showato.
  16. The photo's aren't good enough to make a decent opinion. However, it appears to be oil tempered.
  17. jean, generally cleaning a nakago is taboo. However, on a Gendaito, it's not that dramatic and shouldn't detract too much.
  18. How about some more photo's then, including the Nakago.
  19. Sanbon Sugi. I think you'll find that, the hamon is etched.
  20. Beautiful Kaigunto Koshirae, with metal Tsunagi. US$600
  21. For sale, a lovely Shingunto Koshirae with Lacquered wooden sayer and pieced Tsuba. US$600
  22. Same name as me, but spelt differently.
  23. I have this Hizen gendaito . I can get Hizen Kuni Something Mitsu. Can't get the something kanji. Thanks.
