  1. @PNSSHOGUN @Bugyotsuji @Nobody @Bruce Pennington Many thanks, no wonder I get confused with these Gunto Mei! Much appreciated. C.
  2. Firstly I apologise for the fragmented images. The sword is not mine and the images are from a friend who has requested assistance. My translation abilities are lacking especially with these “chippy” gunto kanji….so….please can anyone help me out? Many thanks in advance and again, apologies. All the best. Colin
  3. Ron, that looks horrible. Personally I would walk away whether it’s on the other side or not.
  4. I vote for this as the most entertaining thread for quite a while, even better than the one about cast ts…..🙂
  5. It gets better and better. I haven’t smiled so much for this long in a while. PLEASE do tell us what the NBTHK say….we are holding our breath!
  6. This thread is better than anything on the telly at the moment. Definitely a troll. As far as I know there wasn’t a Japanese Emperor Fujiwara.
  7. I think we have a troll….. It takes a few seconds to look at Oxford Archaeology and realise they are archaeologists ie they dig holes in the ground and research/appraise historic sites and buildings. They don’t issue these appraisal certificates. It’s as fake as the “sword”.
  8. If you do not believe what you have been told then contact the NBTHK in Japan. The leading authority on Japanese Sword authentication. Send them some images…..they will enjoy a good laugh. This is utter nonsense and an elaborate fake.
  9. I was about to really let rip…..but decided a glass of wine was a better idea. Talk about a government in total utter chaos. Glug, cheers!
  10. I love stories like this. The thrill of the chase. Good luck Lewis, hope it comes good.
  11. Can Torokusho be faked?….maybe for the purpose of selling it? Again just a genuine question because it’s a subject I know nothing about. I’d have bet (very) heavily on it being “wrong”!
  12. I’m not trying to be smart, this is a genuine question……does it being in Japan with a Torokushi prove its not a fake?
  13. The theme is a Japanese “version” of the classic Chinese subject of scholars/immortals etc gazing at a wonderful often mountainous landscape. Various interpretations linked to a yearning for immortality, wonder at the beauty of nature, desire for man and nature to live in harmony…..that sort of thing. A waterfall is often included (but not here) They can often be accompanied by a young male attendant (as here) …….presumably carrying their wine and packed lunch🙂
