    Any clue what these are portraying? Been looking for a plain design for a Tsuka and got these. I originally thought some kind of leaves, but I don't think so. Any ideas? -Logan-

    Yes, I was doing a bit of research on this and it does seem to be an "attempt" at Seiryuken Eiju. Not nearly as nice as the originals I see.

    Photos attached.

    Please help on translation on this Tsuba. Only my second signed Tsuba. Not in best of shape though. Thanks in advance! -Logan-

    Thanks Steve! After looking at the kanji you wrote it sure seems to match up with it as much as I can tell. I'm wondering if the xxxxing has something to do with the "theme" as well. I will have to do more research.

    It is a nice kashira. Condition looks a lot better in person too. Updated more photos of the rest. Probably impossible to make out what it says on the fuchi.

    Thank you! Much appreciated!

    Trying to get help on these. On a Wakizashi I purchased. Kashira has writing on other side as well but can't get a good photo. The fuchi also has writing on the side(I'm thinking it might be part of a poem) but I cannot get a good enough photo(there is rust damage)

    Just throwing in my 2Cents, why not Beeswax? I use it on pretty much everything, wood furniture (mixed with oil) and on metal.

    Once again I very much appreciate the replies. I already purchased the blade. I had a strong feeling the blade was gimei. I was more curious about the age. I thought being Gimei it would be a much later timeframe. It's definitely not an "Art" sword but I like the fact that these were made for one purpose in mind.

    Thanks for the replies. Just going off what I see, it appears to be Itame with what also looks like Mokume Hada(hard to make out now) Chu-Suguha hamon I'm guessing. So far I'm just hoping the timeframe is within 1500s. I still don't think it is a true Tadamitsu.

    Picture of Mei. I'm not one to date swords but I was thinking Edo(closer to 1700s)

    Picked this blade up. It is signed "Osafune Tadamitsu" which I believe to be Gimei. The Mune near the kissaki is poorly lined up with other side as well which I wouldn't expect. Blade is 24-1/8inches Overall 30-7/8 inches Sori is 1"

    Thanks Ray. I should've mentioned that I have only seeing them marked as you say as well. Hopefully it will be possible to age it when I post photos of the blade.

    Picked this blade up. I believe the bottom two kanji are Tadamitsu. Which leads me to believe this blade is Gimei since all of them seem to be dated. I will post the whole sword in the Nihonto section. Thanks. -Logan-

    I am aware Russia was fighting the Japanese. Just find it strange that the guy lives 2600 miles away from any "battlefield" that he could've dug this up at that I am aware of.
  17. Logan09
    Anyone else see this? Said he found it metal detecting. Bogus story I'm guessing as I don't see why any Japanese soldiers would be near kineshma, Russia. Also, how do you find that and nothing else. Item number 163647670979
  18. Logan09
    Is this the one for like $3k on eBay?
  19. Logan09
    I was agreeing with what you said. I also don't buy the story on this blade.
  20. Logan09
    Can't comment on the age, but I point to post #2. If this sword is listed from Japan how did it get back there? 99% of the Japanese soldiers were killed on Peleliu. 200 captured and around 30 hid on the island. I don't know the whole Japanese laws on blades. But I think this would be considered somewhat of a "Treasure" in Japan if it was indeed owned by Kunio Nakagawa

    Unless I am completely wrong I believe the polisher puts these there. I could've swore the number of lines means a certain school/training or? I always thought it was an indication of a professional polish. I have seen this on swords dating from the 1500s and earlier(of course no clue of how recent the polish was) Of course I am still very much a Novice on this.
  22. Logan09
    Are you talking about the Polishers "Signature"?
  23. Logan09
    I saw that right away, let the village idiots bid it up to $400+. Plus I've gotten into a habit of never purchasing anything that they won't remove the handle on.
  24. Logan09
    Can't comment on the signature, but I was curious as to why this sword had over 20 bids and a $500 price jump in less than 20hrs.
  25. Logan09
    My only comment is it looks like it has a brass habaki that isn't fitted right.
