    Very nice sword Eric!

    I don’t think this blade was made by “the” Norimitsu. Hada doesn’t look right, also the quality. Is it papered? If not consider its gimei. Did you buy this?

    There is no value in wanting something looted(stolen) from a dead body. I'm sure seller is an idiot who thought adding a line like this make it worth more. But as I said, there is no way the story is true so bidding for it wouldn't hurt.

    I can assure you that a soldier wasn't "wearing" this sword. Also the sageo(cord) is tied in samurai fashion. Nice fittings, late edo tsuba. Koshirae seems broken. But I would gamble this if I was living in the states..

    Agreed, but there would be roughly 3k euros difference between gimei and real Unjū

    Hey Adrian, I know you want it to be real but sadly it's not(it's probably a chinese reproduction). So you really don't have to spend time with more pictures and videos but refund it while/if you can

    What is this?

    I might be wrong but this looks gimei to me. If you have the sword in hand please compare these two signatures. A bit hard for me to see from the picture. @Ray Singer would know better.

    Looks fake..If you can ask for refund just do it.

    I'm in love with this one.

    It's a sunnobi tanto(ko-wakizashi)..Looks Bizen-ish..Is it signed? Papered?
  12. Okan
    You really shouldn't do that George Without seeing the whole package it's just guessing and it's not a healthy way to train your eyes. In your case, the picture doesn't really show anything..It might as well be a shinshinto or gendaito..
  13. Okan
    Yup..here is a similar design.
  14. Okan
    Looks Shoami to me..
  15. Okan
    Hey, Anyone saw this before? I've found one similar design which is a "US Army WW1 Engineer machete"..Hmm.. @ROKUJURO

    Hallo Ed, most probably a museum inventory number. I have one like that as well..keep it

    Steve, Someone who has 1000 times more experience and knowledge than you sharing his opinion and this is your answer? If your answer was " Thank you for your reply but what make you think it's a Showato?" then you would be able to learn something! But you don't want to learn anything..You are simply narrow-minded!.. Don't get me wrong, I really don't care about your questions as they are waste of time to answer but I won't stay silent when you disrespect others...

    Don't take him serious please..
  19. Okan
    Gotcha! Thank you!
  20. Okan
    Good luck with your life
  21. Okan
    I don't think no one here would buy it but yeah sure keep it
  22. Okan
    Yup we can tell a lot from this photo. Great!
  23. Okan
    Great find Parry..let me read that..Masaaaa mune....yup...not gimei... Great looking sword by the way, it even have two m&m holes. And if you can only share the pictures of rest of the blade we can all officially announce that you have the real deal.

    Ok I think I solved it. Not %100 certain but this has something to do with Banzuke. (ranking list) East and West division...I circled Tadamasa with red on attached photo. Mei on the left also points "West" Markus has a great article about this..and probably the only English article about the subject. https://markussesko.com/2016/10/02/banzuke-番付/
