  3. Mark

    Tsunatoshi blade

    i would not say Chinese. Is it dated? I have had.handled Tsunatoshi blades. Usually there have longer mei and are dated. 2 kanji could be possible. Looking at the nakago it does not look like Tsunatoshi's without seeing or knowing more i would have said later copy, maybe early Showa
  4. there isn't a show in Tampa anymore. Vegas in late Jan, Chicago late April, Orlando mid June, SF early August
  5. i see my eBay listing on there https://www.ebay.com/itm/256341267372 and they have 11 of them even tho it is a unique items........... starnge
  6. the show is getting close....... i understand the hotel is about full. This year they is another room, Morphy's bought another show and are putting it together with the existing one so bigger than last year. Last time i had people request tables at the last minute. I can usually work it out but it makes it more stressful so if anyone is thinking of coming lat me know and get a room right away The show website has details and a link to the hotel........ if you have questions let me know https://www.vegasswordshow.com/
  7. i think Grey sells them for $175 https://www.Japanese...-cyclopedia-edition/
  8. i just saw a news report of a major earthquake in central Japan. Early reports say 7.6 possible tsunami. hopefully there will be additional coverage and damage will be minimal but i first thought of friends in Japan and i am hoping everyone is safe if this belongs in a different category please move it
  9. i had sent Ron a message....... Grey does not attend the SOS but i will be there for sure. I would be happy to look at it and there will be plenty of others i could direct him too. Ron email me at nixe@bright.net and i can give you my cell number. there is no issure with bringing a sword in but if we communicate before i can meet you and walk you in as i have a pass and everyone knows i have swords
  10. i think Fujiwara Yukinaga
  11. John and Steve Big thanks! i appreciate it. makes sense to me
  12. Sayagaki by Mr Tanobe, i can read the rest but this section i can't get it all, i see first gen Shigetaka and it is a yari. it would be nice to understand it completely thanks in advance mark
  13. i will message you. sounds like a good idea
  14. Brian. I will take care of it. I will message you mark
  15. i do not believe this is correct and i don't want incorrect information being spread. As far as i know TokuJu blades (higher than Juyo) can be sent outside Japan, i think blades above that can be sent outside Japan. If a blade is modern Kokuho it can not leave but i think pre-war important blades are re rated lower and can be sent out of Japan......... if i am wrong please correct this.
  16. i listed a sword on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/256341267372 If anyone has any interest i would sell it here direct at a discount from the eBay listing price. you can contact me at nixe@bright.net
  17. i must be doing something wrong, all i get is one katana that ended more than 2 months ago????
  18. my opinion is there are recent swords probably made in China to copy WWII Japanese army officers swords
  19. strange if it is a stamp, maybe unknown........ it also looks a bit like someone started drilling a hole there and quit but dressed it up to cover it up trying to make it into something
  20. just saw this on FB posted by Chris Bowen NTHK-NPO Kantei-sho UPDATE! For those still waiting patiently for their Chicago NTHK-NPO Shinsa kantei-sho, good news! I have received the last half of them and will be sending them out next week! Sorry for the long wait- everyone's patience was greatly appreciated!
  21. Grey and I should be available. there are some decent places nearby we have visited before. We can discuss options when we are there
  22. the picture with the mei is very dark, at least for me, can you add a better picture. That being said it looks genuine. i don't think i have seen any copies of smiths like Kanemichi. Dated 5th month 1943
  23. the oshigata is upside down so hard to see.......... Bob was knowledgeable. He bought thousands of swords so knew what he had. The chances it is a good signature is very very small. Bob surley had it checked maybe it has been to shinsa or the NBTHK may have seen the oshigata. you could submit to a US shinsa if you wish, there is one in June
  24. Dan Thanks, Thanks, thanks.... i fixed it. hold over from last year. i appreciate it. i want to make things as easy as possible mark
