Hi Ed, looks old. Muromachi perhaps Regards Uwe
-
Well Ed, what do you understand by early, Muromachi, Momoyama, early Edo? Is the do very heavy? Regards Uwe
-
Hello Ed, Very interesting do and nice Why do you think it's an early one? Uwe
-
First glance, Cheers Uwe
-
At first, do not clean the nakago with anything abrasive! However, nakago confirms my feeling. Very late Edo to more likely Meiji Tanto. I've a similar piece. Regards Uwe
-
Hi Felix Looks like a late piece. Maybe Meiji. More and closer pics would be better. Uwe
-
More Bizen I think. Touch of "crab claw" and the nakago looks bizen'ish (IMHO) :| Cheers Uwe
-
Condolences, although we haven't met. Uwe

Hi Matt, it`s called "denchú-sashi-koshirae" what means, "wear inside palace" . Hence the kojiri is a "denchú-kojiri". Cheers Uwe
-
Followed with interest...Thanks Jan Uwe

Amusing exercise Pushed me back to the books :lol: Thank you Paul Uwe

Just a guess, 1. Mino 2. Yamato 3. Yamashiro 4. Soshu Though,........ :? Uwe
-
I will also be around

I think it is the same kanji two times burned in.
-
Great Barry. Thank you! Greetings to John and Chris Looking forward to the article.

Hi Veli, mid Edo is a good guess I think. The menpo looks well crafted. However, what appears strange in my eyes are the teeth and the sloppy way they riveted Uwe
-
Hi Pepe, next to you is Zenon van Damme in Bruges. Sure he can help!
-
:lol: .......will be have the same issue next time. Uwe
-
Dave, Ian, just downloaded! Great work Many thanks to both of you Uwe
-
....pic 2. Now I know what you mean. Indeed not often seen....rather, never seen before :D Obviously a task for the more experienced. Inasmuch they just don`t make their catnaps Uwe

"Shimazu clan"-European branch Seriously, "up" makes no sense IMHO. I`m almost convinced that it is an armorers mark. Moreover, i think the maedate could be a bit older than Edo. If you looking for an matching kabuto, check out Morisaki`s site. But don`t trouble you with an inquiry, the asking price is imposing Good luck (shimazu san) Uwe

Hi Jan, very nice maedate. The kanji can be an armorers mark. Found a similar one in Chappelears book pg. 23 read as "jo" (another reading would be "kami"). But believe me, you don`t need this maedate ........... I`m the shimazu guy here Uwe PS: Green of envy :rotfl:

Hi Mike, as an side note. The mon is left unregarded, because of the huge possible assignments. To many families used this mon during the centuries. Among others, Hosokawa, Matsudaira, .....etc. Uwe PS: I think you should mention the material and the lacquer in your description. Tetsu kuro urushi nuri....... ( Dave, Ian )
-
Hi Ian, I hoped you jump in :D I was unsure about age and school. Furthermore, examining the close up of the lacquer cracks, i wonder if it is actually a metal hachi :? Uwe
-
Hi Mike, at first glance, the za-boshi may lead us towards Kaga.... .....give me some time and if possible some more pics Cheers Uwe
