Swords

Sorry I didn’t get back sooner I did a comparison of the mei from what I can see it looks the same to me I also compared to book by John Slough

Thanks good to hear positive I probably got it a little cheaper if I asked less but didn’t want to lose it Only wish it had a better hamon steve

Yes I don’t know why I said that

Does that make it lesser value

No i didnt how do i access it

I thought this sword interesting fo 2300 if it’s a gimie I can always return it Hopefully not

The pitting and or rust is what kept me from buying While I’m posting Nagamitsu I am thinking of buying this one so I thought I would get a few opinions It army with 4 kaji To me it looks like a nice clean one but can’t seem to get some better pictures Steve

I got some pictures of the kissaki and boshi Boshi dosnt look to show the hamon continue turned back or not there ? Maybe bad pictures It looks like some minor pitted or stained as well

I wish I could Can’t get to wife to go! she has bad knees and If I was to go alone I wouldn’t here the end of it

Problem is finding a decent one with hamon no nicks or any other issues

Got it thought you were talking about smallsword Yea no feedback not good I haven’t offered a price I’m guessing even at 3000’ tack on fees 3200 or more Too much money He would have to come down 2700 Good info I don’t know the value for this sword thanks you guys Steve

Thanks for the heads up Conway I did see his sword just didn’t like the blade John what zero feed back are you talking about ? Steve

I’m looking a ww2 NLF type 44 sword by Nagamitsu price range 2500-3000 depending on condition steve

Is 300 too much not ? Yes if you’re buying a fake If you’re looking for a good sword you need to dig deeper in your pocket because your wasting your time

You helped me make up my mind I think i will wait for nice one with painted scabbard and better hamon It seems the ones I want are too pricey I have to think about resale Thanks to all Steve

Is that a bad thing ? Is it still worth the money as it sits now with wood scabbard and one release button The the kanji has 4 characters but it seems there’s so many variations I’m still sitting on the fence with this one Steve

Here more pictures of the mounts and blade the hamon looks weak but no other issues I was offered 2000 but wood scabbard and weak hamon keeps me from buying although the price seems fair steve

Green papers never thought theses were forged It’s crazy there’s so many positives Probably alot of people don’t know this! can’t trust anyone great info thanks

I probably shouldn’t buy from Japan but it seems to have alot of swords for good prices Also many positions I never bought from Japan before but this one struck my interest its NBTHK certificate with the emperor seal Being a short sword reduces price What I really wanted is a NLF type 44 but it’s hard to find one by Nagamitsu in good condition and doesn’t break the bank Dose anyone know about the dealer? dose he sell decent swords and trust worthy? Steve

Got it

Good information guys so if the bizen is added chances are it was signed by him not a student and maybe it’s a better quality sword maybe 🤔

Actually I’m looking to buy a Nagamitsu sword I searched to see what other opinions about this sword It has to be a Bizen Nagamitsu does the Bizen add value making it a better quality? I know condition is important what’s the value of a Nagamitsu these days Steve

Good not have said it better! Now if I could sell it The polish alone cost more than the sword I know I can’t get what I have into it but for this price I am pretty much giving my sword for free

I need money so my sword is 2400 if anybody wants it Steve

It’s gendaito than again it depends on the smith and conditions of blade thanks for your help Steve
