it seems to be the Oi Clan but not sure. There may also be the Akiyama Clan. kind of weird.

indeed, here is another photo for the Kamon.

I know but the photos were taken this weekend. I told him.

yes in his family since 1900.1901.

I don't know what happened, here are all the photos, I hope they display correctly. thanks in advance.

hello there is someone I know who has just discovered this tachi, it would have been in his family for at least 150 years. Who can tell me more, the signature is splendid and in gold. there are also lots of kamon on the saya, tsuba, tsuja, it's really amazing! thank you I think he has a nice surprise in his family.

Excuse me Yojimbo but it's not marked either that it's not a great seller! The signature was good, no price reserve or very low, I am not a millionaire, I buy with my budget and again sorry but I liked it, I had a koshirae for the blade and Sorry for not being serious or normal ..... I'm just asking if it happened to me, how should I take it?

hello I have a little different problem but it's the same seller. I bought a saber on catawiki at a very good price compared to the estimate, everything was fine. 1 month of waiting for papers before sending .... After 3 weeks, the package leaves, the concern is that for some reason that still escapes me, the package has crossed the customs office ems then was sent back to Japan, there she tells me that the Japanese administration will make them wait 8 months before the saber can go back, is that true? Okay and agreement with Catawiki I will have everything refunded but 8 months I think is a long time!? aAfter I was a little scared seeing all the stories about this person. I hope for the people in the group who are bothered with her that they can have a happy ending like me.

Thank very much for all clarifications and explanations.

thank you very much, I managed to remove and even make appear gold lines with my toothbrush and soap. I only have the quantities of linseed oil and white spirits left to remove and stop the rust. but I'm happy, I'm just starting to keep tsuba, I have a weakness for swords.

No there is nothing else, there was a lot of grayish dust at the bottom behind the barrel, there were also 2 repairs on the wood and I don't have the rammer to load the projectile, it is a wooden gige with a brass mouthpiece or all brass? It is interesting but suddenly it will miss some additional information and nothing at all apart from all the engravings on the barrel.

I would say leave it as it is, the kozuka is a few years old, it's proof of time. after personally, I will leave like that.

the kozuka is very beautiful, rare to find it at flea markets these days, nice deal and it is superb, moreover the handle looks very clean and well detailed.

hello, on the advice of "Bugyotsuji" I disassembled my arquebus and I had the great surprise that there was a signature. I took pictures. and at the end he saw where they were placed, so every day I see them to go to my room with my mask brought back from the island of Miyajima. Thank you for having more informations.

if you want more information, do not hesitate. I myself think I would ask for more information.

hello and thank you, I started very slowly, with a lot of patience, I'm happy with the results but there is still a lot of rust dust. but thank you, I have a lot of work to do on those too.

@Spartancrest I found an ivory sewing punch. It should arrive at the beginning of the next week. I will do everything slowly as you explained to me. Thanks again.

yes it is more complex than my other, on my second, they are like mekugi, like brass tenons. that's why I didn't go there to disassemble it but I take note. I show you the barrel of the other Teppo as well as my last two Tsuba too, I also don't know if I have the wooden mask bought in Miyajima 13 years ago, I had fun transporting it to in Tokyo.

Don’t worry, it’s Mr Sabbah Who will do the job. He does it in the traditional way and I have seen what he does us extraordinary.

Thank you very much for your answer and your link.
