ju-no

Thanks again, I ask you one last courtesy , can it therefore still be consideered "Notare based" (in the picture is the bottom left) have a good week.

@Shugyosha@Shugyosha here you can see the hamon under the hadori. Was hard to to see in picture but live is more visible. I don't think it's notare 100%

1 question. The Machi is near to absent, but its not why it is a Suriage??? Maybe not executed in the proper way.

I apologize, measurement were written wrong, correct one are: Nagasa 48.5 CM Sori 1.2 CM Sorry for the mistake. @Shugyosha ,I am profoundly grateful to all of you, I am just a little angry with myself, despite having studied before proceeding with a purchase , I did not grasp this "feature" of the blade, I admit this out of ignorance, although I repeat, committed and studied consistently. I'll try to do better pictures. thanks again to all

thanks all for your precious opinions. speaking technically, the hamon from what you see (I will take more pictures, but here is raining from 5 days....) is correct to say is a notare ? other than the status of the nabaki from which charateristics I can recognize it a early Edo blade? The geometry of the blade maybe even the SORI could say that ?

I think I'll give up, I studied before buying this blade, I was conscious to buy a tired "entry" blade with my budget, but not a worthless thing (as Shugyosha said). Btw pictures taken by smartphone under not proper light may had highlighted the hadori. Anyway, at the moment i feel I've lost my money and interest too.

I can't... I was happy of the blade before posting... I don't ask you what could be the value, I'm afraid to know... Thanks you all anyway. Bye

Too late.... I was happy of the result, I was..... 😅 Any opinion about the blade?

hellooo, the pictures are not good? Or is it the sword that doesn't deserve? I hope not heheh in the meanwhile I renovated the Habaki.

here it is Another point for the suriage: the Yarisune is absent

here some pictures of the blade, not again the best quality, done with Smartphone.... Andrea C. kozuka had some italic kanji on it. but is damaged by the time.

I'm sorry, I will be more precise. I Hope to take some decent pictures of the Hamon soon. Andrea C.

Arigatou goizamasu Shugyosha. so don't you think that the sword might therefore belong to that masahiro I linked to (which is one of the less emblazoned) BUt Could it still be an early EDO blade in your opinion? Is interesting the Suriage opinion, even a friend of mine told me, hamachi and munemachi are almost unnoticeable, this could be another clue ? I'll take more picture asap and I'll share with you.

Hello everyone, I introduced myself in the appropriate post, I am a beginner but I am studying a lot, I open this post to ask for your help in finding information regarding my nihonto, the curiosity is too strong. I immediately fell in love with the blade and its Hamon, as well as the coeval koshirae that owns a Kozuka though unfortunately very worn. The biggest unknown is the signature on the nakago, which is partly erased (this adds to its mystery). The readable part, as also transcribed in the Torokusho, reads: 住正廣 . The antiquarian experts who sold it to me have : https://nihontoclub.com/smiths/MAS209 as a blacksmith Sori: 1,8cm Blade Lenght: 54,2 cm I write here to gather as much information as I can, and by no means to question their analysis, which I think is correct, even analyzing the characteristics of the blade such as Hamon, Sori and various geometries. any information you have on this is appreciated and I thank you in advance. Thanks a lot in advance. ps as soon the weather will be better i'll take more pictures by myself. these are from the seller.

hello all, how are you? i finally made the decision to became an active member. my names is Andrea. i will ask a question about my new nihonto.
