Good point Brian As I said earlier there was another known smith Every one thought maybe the seller wouldn’t find out but he did or the ones who knew kept bidding higher
Good point When I thought about that too
In that case he said there were alot of people who were interested than he took it down Your right it could have come from our forum There was another case a while back who was a well known smith can’t remember the name The seller had no idea what he had People on the forum were discussing it
Than it sold for a good sum
I find it interesting that Derek’s can’t tell the difference between a Gendaitō or Koto sword lol As I already said a lot of my questions were about signatures which even experienced people have difficulty with
But I admit I posted many questions about swords
I’m guilty as charged !
I will limited my questions and try to help others
Brian I didn’t get the yasukuni The seller removed it after he found out what he had
Anyway peace ☮️ and kindness our country needs it!

Thanks Rivken No need to apologize
I misunderstood about becoming gold member to help the forum I would be honored Brian
When necessary What makes you think I don’t want to contribute Seriously !! You know nothing about me!I And I don’t appreciate your negative comments about me
I appreciate the comment of being a gold member but I feel I still have a lot to learn And find time to read more
I agree with it being Muromachi Bizen era
The translation is my weakness
This ChatGPT would save alot of time if I can figure out how to use it My daughters would help their more computer savvy
Great info guys Thanks for sharing
Any other opinions on which signature ?
I agree with Brian we should contribute more
We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him
Steve
If you’re tired of reading my post than don’t read them! The purpose of the forum is a learning tool for everyone but I do admit getting away lately
And I do contribute and plan on contributing more to Brian as we should all
This one caught my eye It older maybe Later 1500 just a guess by shape of the blade I’m moving got my books packed up so cannot reference my books Any help would be appreciated
Thanks John Eric blocked me even though I bought over 10000 worth of swords from him
so would have made an offer It’s been for sale a long time His loss I bought a acid etched Sukasada sword from his buddy Matt and took a 4000 loss
I m the one who shouldn’t waste my time with him
