AH ok, the other Yoshi-mune I have on the sword is from Edo period as stated, In a week I will receive it and I will make a new thread to share some pics and receive some comments from you all, more expert than me! Thx

Ah ok, I thought he was, yes I bought it at 2300€ it is in really nice condition. I will remove the blade from the war koshirae and put it in a new tsuka/tsuba/saya to use it and practice the katà and extractions, taking obsessive care of it for sure! I'll keep her old uniform aside. You say it's not the same Yoshimune? I downloaded the file, I'll read it tonight, thanks!

It is all brown @Bruce Pennington what can you tell me about this sword? I have few infos for now, it’s funny because I knew this swordsmith through @oli the day before! Thanks

Thank you for this Convay!

No sorry, wrong side picture

Hi everybody, after 2 days I've found my tresoure, @oli let me know if you know the signature ;-P crazy 高橋義宗 It's incredible, I spoke with the guy in the auction and then I found this in his collection.... 2300€

Thank you all guys you were very kind to help me. I will send an email to the auctioneer because I think it is not fair nor legal to fool people with this kind of auction. I'm a 10 yrs kung fu martial artist who started to study the Japanese culture 2 yrs ago, I practice with a very good iaito with great results but my dream is to buy an original blade for demonstration and iaido, any suggestions? thank you again! https://www.catawiki...edo-period-1600-1868

Can you tell me more if you look at these pics pls? thanl you!!!

Oh thank you all! You were so kind, here is the link to the pics! I was attracted by the aesthetics bit I know it is less than good conditions but I’m afraid of fake infos on it or mixed restoration! https://www.catawiki...edo-period-1600-1868

Hi folks, I kindly request help from you, is this wakizashi a real WWII or before, handmade tamahagane blade? I really like to buy this but I'm not sure it is as they describe it. Do you have any suggestion? Thank you. Max
