Will have this in a few days. Seller stated he can make out bishu osafune and oei ni ju. Any red flags against oei bizen from the “crappy” pics? I will update with measurements and better pics when it is received. Thanks in advance!
-
As the title states looking for pictures for study. Thanks in advance! -
PM me, I have a copy I would sell.
-
Just want to get some general opinions on the signature. Another member thinks I have a shot so I just wanted to get a few more opinions before restoration is decided. Thanks In advance!

Just tried the ice trick, pretty damn insane! Melted instantly!
-
It's only very slightly magnetic, and I'm not sure.. Don't want to buy an acid test kit, but I want to be sure before I do anything with it.
-
Probably the case, I seem to find more of them than listed smiths... Well it was worth a shot. Thanks!
-
Completely hizen, which is next to chikuzen. This is the only smith I can find in that time period and area so I would like to eliminate this one and go from there. But it seems logical, I think
-
I picked this up as another purchase fell through and I have a hunch I'm correct but..?? If anyone has any additional information on this smith other than Markus's book(pictured) I would appreciate any info! Thanks in advance!! And yes someone in the states took a dremel and tried to copy the mei on the tsuba????????????
-
I have been informed the mei says, "made for the commemoration to departure for front of the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937)". So as this is a commemoration, probably given to or ordered by a certain group of soldiers. Thank you Markus ! If anyone has any reference on this smith please let me know!
-
Hello, trying to verify if the mei is for participation or commemoration of the end of the Chinese incident.. Thanks in advance! Matt (Thanks for the correction!)

Does anyone have a recommendation for shipping companies to use? Ups was only global express and was 300usd, waiting for my DHL quote, does anyone use usps? Thanks in advance! Matt
-
Appreciate it!! I actually bought the sword minus the koshirae for cutting. Just was a little curious about the smith.. Thanks again!
-
I am trying to find more info about a shinshinto smith who worked in Musashi, Nakayama Yoshimichi per aoi-art "Yoshimichi is adoption of Ikkansai Yoshihiro". Any help is appreciated! Regards, Matt

Realistically, How Likely Is It...
Jiro49 replied to Chango's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
A friend about 18yrs ago found a missing Kotetsu tanto with horimoni of daikokuten in a small town in IN which was also listed as missing in the kotetsu meikan and is now back in Japan. -
Thank you! I will check that now.
-
Ok, so it's not impossible... I have a tanto I swear is koto but it's ububa so that threw me. Thanks for the replies!
-
Have any members ran into a muromachi jidai sword with ubu-ba? Thanks!
-
Much appreciated!
-
Ok, just got it. Yoroi-doshi sugata 9mm kasane. No yasuimei like your pic.. It's ububa, nakago looks lightly cleaned, top ana I believe is punched second smaller one is drilled. I'm confused
-
I received some input from others and a may be a koto tanto where the machiokure was performed by toshihide.. I believe the nakago was cleaned a little.
-
I will have it this week, I believe it's machiokure. Here's the pic that I have..

Hello, need help with this.. Trying to pin down what I have, kakko meaning process so an utushi or student blade? Thanks!!

Just to let everyone know how cool our little community is and especially how cool Chris K (higosan) is, he has offered to split the winning bid and allow me to keep my menuki as they are worth more! So rare!!
