brannow Posted March 14, 2015 Author Report Posted March 14, 2015 Thanks guys! Here are some photos of the sword. Some one spent a lot of money to mount this one! http://artswords.com/a_very_nicely_mounted_gendai_by_bitchu_no_kuni_aoe_ju_yasutsugu_030515.htm Quote
David Flynn Posted March 21, 2015 Report Posted March 21, 2015 I have a sword by Ota Yasutsugu, that I've managed to acquire. My sword is in full polish and in shirasaya. It doesn't have any papers, but matches the Oshigata in Slough's book exactly. I consider this sword to be of very high quality. Quote
cabowen Posted March 21, 2015 Report Posted March 21, 2015 Nice looking, well made sword....Too bad your watermark occludes the signature. Quote
brannow Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Posted March 29, 2015 Chris, Sorry that is where my software puts the water mark right in the center. Its an unfortunat but necisary to use watermarks on photos posted on the net. If you like I can email you an unwatermarked photo. Quote
cabowen Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Not a problem, just a general observation....I understand the need, just is unfortunate where it appears. Quote
