I don't think the mountings can be dated to Edo period because of the Tokugawa clan mon on the saya. It is not permissible to make Tokugawa clan mon on the saya if the owner is not a member of Tokugawa clan in Edo period. Most of these sayas are souvenirs made after the Meiji Restoration.

The Ianaba school Kanesaki's history began in the beginning of Edo period and continued until the Meiji Restoration. Obviously, Markus Sesko"s Index must have missed a lot of names.

I received this Edo period Teppo from a friend. Because there is no one near my town can restore antique gun, I decide to sell it. I don't know much about Teppo, so I asked in the forum. You can see more information and pictures in this link. I would like to sell it at $2500(via Zelle, include shipping cost), but the price is negotiable. If you want to use other third-party platforms(ebay, Etsy), I have to rise the price to cover fee and tax. Please PM me if you want to buy or need more photos. Only ship within the US

Thanks! I also assume this may related to Tazuke-Ryu. But could it be an indication of Hino manufacture? It looks like this one

Hi all, I just acquired an antique Teppo. It looks like an Edo period Teppo for me, but I can't recognize more details. If anyone can identify it?

There is something I need to point out: 1. What I said about rust and possible flaws is statement of objective fact. Another fact is, even the most experienced togishi can't tell if a rusted nihonto can be repaired because rust may hide damage (sometimes can be fatal damage) on the blade. I've seen a lot of swords being abandoned due to serious damage found in the repair process. Therefore, it is necessary for him to fully understand the situation before making a decision. 2.Togishi may mislead customers for their own benefit（actually there was a togishi who tried to steal my sword...）. It's always good to be able to hear different people's opinions, at least the people on the forum are not "Interested Person."

I didn't tell him to do or not to do something. And the market price of a polishing service not decided by a certain togishi but decided by supply and demand in the market. He needs information from different sources to make decision, not be led by the nose by a certain togishi. Don't build information barrier.

The average polish cost for wakizashi is over $1000 now, it is difficult to find a togishi who would like to accept a lower price. And maybe there are more damage under the rust.

Uda Kunimune is a kind of Nihonto that was very common in the Muromachi period, so I don't think there is any need to worry about gimei. But this blade is so badly damaged that I think it could be very expensive to repair. Usually, a Nihonto at this condition is worth less than $500
