    i dont have good feelings about this piece, and im sure a few other members are thinking what im thinnking. the koshirae isnt 100% original, the tsuka has a different age to the leather. The placement of the mekugi is very odd. but more importantly the blade has a modern feel to it. the mei is a given writeoff as fake. but that hamon is funny looking.

    the great and powerful bazz has spoken, the wizzard of ozz joka aside. Barry has a very very good point. hes got 50 plus years of experience in collecting behind his words. Hi Barry, hows life going

    nothing to look twice at.

    You turned down a good offer to list it on flebay at less then $1. Big gamble

    If its a run of the mill nagamitsu or emura. Then its a equal sum game. If its a mumei gendai its not worth the cost of restoration. Not even to mention the shirasaya or restoration of the gunto koshirae 3k to send easy
  23. lonely panet
    All i see is a money pit of junk
  24. lonely panet
    Sorry to say its a shin "fake" gunto
