Never too late, but I agree with Thomas. While the signature appears suspect, the powder ruins the appearance of what the actual cut might be

Genuinely surprised this hasn't sold. Blade in good enough polish, Shirisaya and gunto mounts. I highly doubt any reseller could beat the price.

I replied on the other thread as well. Mon stands for Mokko 木瓜 (Melon), many families used it.

Right you are, I didn't even bother to open the ebay link since the photos were posted. I just recognized the seller by the room setup.

If you're in the Facebook Nihonto group you can message the guy. I believe his name is Raymond Yan, I'm sure he would be up front about what he thinks they are(or are not). Just a thought.

I would argue there is no way of knowing 100%. But if everything fits nice and tight together then I don't see why it can't be war time.

Beautiful mon, I believe its Bamboo or 竹 (take). A sign of purity and nobility, there is a very long history behind it.

Sorry if this isn't the answer you're expecting, but that seller(Eric) is quite informed and prices accordingly. Most likely blade is market value based off it's quality plus dealer markup. In short, I doubt Eric is looking to hoodwink anybody this is his business. -
If you're feeling so inclined you can always ask Roger Robertshaw. A Hizen expert or so I've heard.

Don't know anything about the Smith, but from the photos provided looks Shinto, maybe Kanbun or similar. Just my uneducated opinion...

How/Why is there so many Hagire?

What about during a re-temper? Could that cause them as well? -
Agreed you should post this in the for sale section. Also does it have a star stamp under the collar, I believe this was an RJT smith?

On this link Bruce seems to have compiled that same stamp multiple times. Referring to it as wrapped steel method. Seems they've all been found on only Kaneshige blades.
