As per my post here: https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/50517-kai-gunto-help-needed I'm possibly looking for a set of Kai Gunto seppa, including the 2 rising sun o-seppa and possibly the accompanying seppa. Don't need a tsuba, and they should not be cut for a retaining strap. Not quite sure how I'd get them to South Africa, USA would be easier, maybe UK. But wanted to see if there are any out there before I work out the logistics. Love to get this sword complete. Thanks all.

Hey if anyone has a copy I'd like to purchase one. I've already gotten the sesko books I wanted from his recent sale and I'm now looking for more books on gendaito. If anybody has this book please shoot me a PM with how much you are asking. Located in Canada but if you're in the US or anywhere it shouldn't be a problem since it's just a book -
I am looking for Kanayama and Owari tsuba from the late Muromachi to early Edo period (approximately 1575-1610). I have seen some nice early sukashi guards in this category posted on NMB in the past. I am also interested in original Oribe tea cups/bowls from the Momoyama period. Thanks.

Hello everyone I am looking to buy a hozon or tokubetsu hozon katana with the price range between 3000-5000 pounds. If possible I would prefer it to have a shirasaya and koshirae but I understand that may be a big ask for the price range so if anyone has koshirae would be fine. I would hope for the nagasa to be something between 67-72cm and the Sori to be something between 1-2 cm. No other request and I am very open minded. I’ve already looked at several websites but I just wanted some options as well Many Thanks Bill

Dear all, I collect mekugi nuki and I will need some more for my little collection. The older, the better. Condition must be good. Please feel free to PM me if you have some to part with. Please have a look to the joined picture which show the one I already have. Thank you for your attention.

Hi there, I'm quite new to all this and am looking for a decent Katana or Wakizashi to start off my collection, something that will hopefully go up in value over time and I can display proudly. Unfortunately my budget is only around $1300 USD so I'm happy to get something unsigned without papers with some wear, as long as it's still presentable and doesn't have any fatal flaws. Obviously a blade with fittings and in good nic with a nice or at least noticeable Hamon would be preferable, but I realise that might be asking a bit much for the price. If you've got an old sword you want to go to a good home, Id appreciate any offers. Saves me from getting screwed on eBay. Thanks p.s I'm from Australia, but happy to pay shipping from anywhere

Hi, Im new here and am looking to get into collecting. Unfortunately i have limited funds at the moment so will have to start with a Wakizashi, or a damaged blade. Theres a Katana for sale on ebay from what seems like a respectable seller that im interested in. Heres the link https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Japanese-Samurai-Katana-Sword-SENGOKU-Nihonto-81-8-cm-Long/264994706019 but it has some rust spots, i was wondering what your opinions on the damage is? Whether it is fatal or not and maybe your overall thoughts on the sword. Thanks

The following details might be insufficient to draw a response but are the best I can offer; Posted on the NMB on March 28, 2014 by Grey Doffin was a tsuba with coplicated brass wire inlay design, all in good order. Grey stated it to be an Onin (or Heianjo - zogan) tsuba. Another with similar inlay appears in Gary Murtha's book on Onin-Heianjo-Yoshiro book on page 85. I just don't know how to get those depictions onto this post so if not good enough we can forget the matter, but if anyone can deal with this as presented I would be interested in purchasing an example of this type of work. Thank you, Roger Dundas

Hello to all. Long time collector of nihonto but new to teppo. I found this at an antique shop while on vacation in Tennessee. Thanks to some Facebook friends, I know the signature is Goshu Kunitomo Tayosuke Katsumasa. It also contains Niju makibari. Would really enjoy learning more about Tayosuke Katsumasa such as time period he worked, how he is viewed as a smith compared to other Smith's of the time. Any information is greatly appreciated! https://i.imgur.com/caJc0US.jpg https://i.imgur.com/3sjGU9d.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ahkZe9x.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Beft3Bg.jpg https://i.imgur.com/dn4vjjW.jpg

Hi, I'm a beginner at collecting and I'm planning to purchase my first nihonto. I found a tanto in shirosaya that I really like from a trusted seller, but since I don't have much experience, it would be useful to know what everyone thinks about it before I buy it. Specifically, do you see any fatal damages or anything unusual? Are there any signs that it could be gimei? Anything notable that might raise or lower its value? And what price range should I be paying for it? The seller listed $1500 but is open to negotiation, so what would you suggest as the lowest reasonable price?

I am new to everything. My knowledge is very basic. I am here for information. (I do not wish being called poor, an idiot, a noob or anything alike or told to find another interest.) I've searched the web for ebooks in this topic and the prices were mindblowing. I understand that collecting nihonto isn't poor men's hobby but I can't afford such expensive books... I want to learn. What should I do? I need your help and advice. -
I'm sticking this post here for now, instead of the WTB section as I'm only looking for now, no guarantee I can buy at this moment. I'd perhaps be interested in acquiring a Soten tsuba, and certainly a Kinai Tsuba at some point. I once had a Kinai, I will find a similar image of the one I had; but I had to let it go, unfortunately. My priority is the Kinai. The Soten can wait as they can get pricey. Thanks.

Hello, I am looking for a gold sword knot/tassel for an infantry officer field grade kyu gunto. See picture below. One just escaped me on eBay last week end because I was away and I am rather put out about it. It was sold for $ 145. I am proposing a purchase price of 150 to 250 dollars.
