I will get a pic of the blade later but it’s way out of polish. This was in a collection for 40yrs and just sat in a closet. The nakago is very dark but the not as dark as in the pic. Thank you guys!

Can’t find any smith that just signed Fujiwara no daijo Masanori. thanks in advance!
-
Thanks all!

First one is a strangely shaped kurigata. Just curious if anyone knows the theme or has seen a similar shaped one? Second is this kojiri, mon or cross? It looks like a Christian cross but.... Thanks in advance!

Agreed! Just was curious. I dont remember how much he was asking but I believe it’s over $1200

Foggy, funny. Not my pics it’s about a mile away but havnt viewed in person. No interest in buying it just was curious. It’s not putting, it’s punch marks, like the sun rays additional carvings..? Again strange. There are a few shinae so I wondered if it was to make up for those or distract from them?
-
Just wanted to get some opinions as this is the first I have seen with this placement. Looks like there is one more under the habaki moto, so original or ato-bori? Blade has shumei attribution. Thanks in advance!

I appreciate it! I thought I read that even when tempering in the soden style it would still be nio-deki. Thanks again!

A bunch here http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/24099-possible-trade-oei-bizen-tanto/

Only looking at the boshi with long kaeri..? Any opinions regarding if I’m on the right track.
-
Ok, I’m confused.. Tight itame/mokume, bo-utsuri, jinei, chikei, suguba nio-deki, sunnobi o-tanto sugata(13.75”nagasa), with the partial mei all says oei bizen. Except the boshi, long kaeri but pointed... So yasumitsu as he descended from kozori or a smith from the chogi school? Or? Bishu osa (omote) oei niju nen hachi gatsu (ura).
-
Thanks for the reply! Actually it would say for instance, oei ni ju nen hachi gatsu hi. The nengo side is slightly visible via the pics but the mei side is not.
