I was planning to attend in person but had to cancel at the last moment. The auction just closed. I likewise thought the naginatanaoshi was interesting, as was the Hizen Masatsugu. The Nobufusa sold at an attractive price.

This one looked interesting to me ...

BUT likely the temper was bad and possibly tiered. I suspect this as I can not recall ever having seen a good quality blade in these junk tourist mounts. Probably once was good but now dead.

 

Quality mounts on this one:

Overall a decent package.

 

The Hzen blade went for too much considering it is rather much Machi Okuri.

 

I agree this one was interesting, too: https://centurionauctions.hibid.com/lot/35858062/wwii-Japanese-wakizashi/?q=Japanese&apage=2&ipp=100&ref=lot-list

 

The late Bizen Tachi with huge Sori was junk but an interesting investment piece at the given estimate but then went for way too much and beyond retail

Maybe it's not my taste or I am missing something, but why would one want to chase that blade? The fittings? Gunto fittings?
