    Hey everyone! I’m relatively new to collecting but I’ve never seen gunto saya that is this color. Is the color authentic or have they been repainted possibly?

    Any guesses on an age it was made? I was thinking the fittings were edo but wasn’t sure about the age of the blade

    Happy New years everyone! Anyone wanna offer their opinion on if this katana is authentic? I believe it is and it has been shortened. But never hurts to ask the professionals. Any other information is helpful as well! Thanks!

    I believe this is export paperwork for the Wakizashi. Could anyone translate what is says? Thanks in advance!

    Hey all! I bought a gunto and it has a tassel with it. Can anyone tell me if it’s real or a reproduction?

    Okay, Thank you John!

    Hey all, Just wondering if the tassel on this gunto is authentic of fake? It seems to be in good condition compared to the sword itself, which makes me suspicious. And I'm far from an expert

    Can anyone make this one out?

    Hey all. Just wanted to get your thoughts on the authenticity of these blades before I buy. You can never be too careful.these days. In my opinion, I think the wakizashi is real but I’m not sure about the katana. What do you guys think?

    @Bugyotsuji so fujiwara kinju is also read as kaneshige? They are the same person? From the book I have, it mentions a Kinju that was a mino smith around the 1300’s that also signed kaneshige. Is this the same swordsmith? I included more pics of the blade

    Can anyone make this out? Sorry if the picture is blurry. I think it may be “Fujiwara” but not sure

    @Bruce Pennington he sent me more pics of the nakago. It does have a W stamp. But not sure if that is what it should look like

    I was able to get him to take the handle off. I had it translated as Takehisa made in Showa 18. Oil quenched showato. Any thoughts?
