Hello everyone,
I just read through the whole conversation here, searching for some examples of ko-Gassan blades, especially Gunsho 軍勝. I own one, sent it for Tokyo shinsa in February this year, waiting for the results now. I will try to make better pictures of the ji-hada and hataraki, when comes back from Japan, hopefully with tokubetsu hozon. The ji-hada is actually kind of "runnig itame", which should be typical for Gunsho. Moto-gasane is 11mm - its a big boy.
I would love to see some more examples of blades from this Nanbokucho period smith, as there are non to be seen online. Also some more information about him would be great, as there is also almost none on the internet, and I didnt even find any books that would have some bio of him (I own the exhibiton one from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts).
Have a great day everyone,
Rgds,
Kamil (CZ)
