I love the Mei, is this even Kanji/Chinese characters? Looks more like Predator marks

Damn you, that is a steal!

Here we go again. I think you have a template with that reply, don't you Jacques? PS. Just to be clear Jacques, stating "it is Gimei in MY opinion" is way different than stating "IT IS Gimei" ... Cheers! @Tim Evans Maybe I think it will be better if you post more pictures. Members can judge attribution based on the blade and not only based on the Mei.

Hi, IMHO it is not Nihonto.

Yes, Poland, EU.

Hello, I'm looking for budget/cheap Fuchi/Kashira/Menuki for my Iaito. Not necessarily a set, but should be matching more or less (same theme or colors etc...). I want to match it with black Iron Mokko Gata Tsuba with pine tree theme. Please PM me with what you have, thank you.

Hi, More pictures and a video located here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1PTtwjETJ3R_MWxyH2Iv2ONK1uYUXLqk4?usp=sharing Perfect condition and Japanese polish, very rare sword/smith, located in EU so no taxes/custom if bought in Europe. My asking price is 4000$ ($ rate change).

Koto Wakizashi - Bizen Osafune + Koshirae + Shirasaya.

After checking on Norimitsu's work I wish that this sword to be his. But I don't think so. It is another MITSU (readable part of Mei). Anyway, I guess no one wants to have a healthy, in good polish, Ubu, with Bohi and perfect (Edo fittings and Tsuba) Koshirae, Koto Bizen Osafune blade. Sword stays with me.

Like in my example. Roger honestly gave up on judging if it is genuine 3rd Tadayoshi or Gimei. He can't be sure, especially without having sword in hands. On the other hand @Jacques gave his Gimei judgment based on few pictures, so ... And mistakes (both giving a paper or call it Gimei) may happen, right?

Mumei koto wakizashi, high end koshirae

Hi, Koshirae is nice, but that Tsuka-Ito is horrible. Did you do it yourself? The color and wrapping ... it so 'not to be here' look. -
https://www.ebay.com/str/japanboutique You can indeed buy 'budget' swords on auctions from Hiro. But keep in mind, he is not an idiot and won't sell you "papered Muramasa" for 500$. Swords he puts on auctions are either Gimei or have some flaws (maybe not fatal but ...). Still, one can buy a nice entry level Nihonto there for less then 1k$.
