  1. If you bid $150 I don't feel bad. I bid the same as well! Of course my bid didn't register. I appreciate all the replies. Really nice to hear from the more knowledgeable people here. This is why I try to ask here before I make stupid purchases. But at the same time I don't want to be a nuisance.
  2. Looks to me like a wire wheel was used.
  3. I wonder if anyone here bought it? My last bid was so pathetic it didn't even count..ha
  4. I was watching one on eBay a while back, 29.5" blade, 41" overall I believe? Showato blade.
  5. It was just me and two other bidders. Here's the item#123672148946(on phone hard to post links) I am assuming it's a well known Smith. But I was not expecting it to sell for anywhere near that.
  6. I was bidding on this on eBay. It was at $32 with 5seconds left. All of a sudden it sells for $900?!?!
  7. Once again thanks Ray!
  8. Seller states it reads Izumi no Kami Kanesada. Comparing it to others I can't see it. Might just be me.
  9. I figured as much. I noticed the habakai, poor fittings, and the Ito was wrapped wrong. I politely told the seller when he first listed it yesterday. No reply of course, and I think he even added more to the description.
  10. https://www.ebay.com/itm/WWII-Japanese-ARMY-OFFICER-SWORD-ORIGINAL-VET-BRING-BACK-WW2-Japanese-SWORD/123676558479? Doesn't look right to me.
  11. I was worried about it after I bought. I figured my luck wasn't that good. I don't have the kind of money to blow on a real nice one, and I can't compete with the guys willing to Shell out hundreds of dollars on rusty mumei blades.
  12. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gunto-katana-Japanese-samurai-sword-nihonto-koshirae-KAWANO-SADASHIGE-army-/382825213172?hash=item5922292cf4 He told me it was sold last week and he "Listed the wrong sword" I asked him to show me which sword he was intending to list and he didn't/wouldn't answer that question.
  13. I bought a Gendaito from "ajt.Japan" yesterday. He is now saying he doesn't have the sword and will be refunding my money. I have no doubts that this will be relisted for much more money in the future. This is Shady business in my opinion. Be Leary of this seller. -Logan-
  14. I just wanted to add this. I just picked up a gunto with this wrap. I do believe it is sharkskin. The skin is like little Barb's if you go against the grain.
  15. Once again, thank you Ray! Much appreciated!
  16. Looking for help again please. I can't afford to by anymore machine made blades.HAHA Thanks in advance. -Logan-
  17. I'm going to say Shark skin.
  18. Thank you! Looks like I have a keen eye for Seki blades -logan-
  19. Help please on this translation. Another Gendaito. Thank you in advance. -Logan-
  20. Thank you Ray!
  21. Looking for help on translating the Mei on this. Thank you.
  22. Thank you! There is no date on the other side(it is blank)
  23. Thanks for the replies, any way to date the first one? Thanks
  24. Looking for help on the translation on these two swords. Both were in gunto mounts(what is left of them) Thanks in advance.
