  1. its not what im after, quality level of the koshirae is to high for that.
  2. maybe a strongin appearasnce, flowong itame, random and unregulated. with fluffings of mokume??
  3. Hi guys. Im going to buy some swords that had the seppa and tsuba removed and lost by the previous owner in there old age. Whats the approx cost of seppa being made to fit. Regards H
  4. Its not a break. But a common place to where the joint was originally placed. Look hard and its very common place for the joint to be make during manufacturing. I would say the brazing as just being weak over use
  5. Who on earth would fake a jumyo. Hahahaha. Its a mei normally taken offf Hahahaha. They dont have a respected reputation
  6. Good score. Very desirable type 95. Probably worth $2000 min
  7. its a modern fake, i did a comparison at my own cost of the new repros to originals.
  8. either you have freakish large hands or your blade is very eligant and slender for its large nagasa?
  9. If you have been studying for 40 years, you may have guessed your not EVER going to find one of thoses on the open market
  10. I personally dislike the patina and iron colour. Something fishy
  11. Did you purchase it from aoi art?? The oshigata looks like his work?⁸
  12. Ko mihara imho are the best looking
  13. Are you Sir, suggesting that hes aiming his sales towards the overly wealthy and under educated?. Or fluffing the facts
  14. WOW that low. worth the long shot
  15. Whats the fees for a juyo paper? 10k ??
  16. its a nice work, but i think the price might be eye watering
  17. I call this " why bother" a financial lose as well as time. Having to either file or pinch in areas t make it fit. Fill out with extra seppa or modify the mekugi. And what do you have at the end!! Mis matched modified u original sword. Easily spotted if you ever try and sell. Maybe just buy a complete original piece and save all this fuss
  18. Looks like a put together piece. Seppa are letted for latch. But tsuba isnt. Ito is new. Backyard stuff
  19. would or could this have been a theme after surrenders/occupation as a identification marker?? possibly something used simular how the Japanese where allowed to keep and carry there weapons after the formal surrender but the british used the Japanese in india to help subdue the ethic violance ?
  20. Diagoro i think is pre kyo sukashi school
  21. thankyou very much, i cant help myself some times when it comes to sake cups.
