isidro305 Posted June 2, 2018 Report Posted June 2, 2018 Any help will be appreciate recently added to my collection what I ting is a Tachi I need any help to point a school or period I can’t find any similar Nakago to compare also there is a name in the Fuchi Kashira Isidro: Quote
Curran Posted June 2, 2018 Report Posted June 2, 2018 56 posts and you are here in Florida with us. You aren't totally newbie to NMB. Per NMB rules, remember to add at least your first name. Hawkfeather file marks on the nakago, but not a Kaga shape. I'm curious what they others say. I recognize the style of tsuba. Quote
Stephen Posted June 2, 2018 Report Posted June 2, 2018 If there was ever one begging for restoration this would be it. Love to see where this goes, Nice package, what she said. 2 Quote
ROKUJURO Posted June 2, 2018 Report Posted June 2, 2018 Isidro,that is not necessarily a TACHI. What is clearly visible is a SANBONSUGI HAMON as known by the MINO KANEMOTO school. Quote
Ray Singer Posted June 2, 2018 Report Posted June 2, 2018 The nakago looks adjusted and likely does not represent its original shape. Additional sori has been introduced and one side shaved down. My guess is that this adjustment has been made to fit into a tachi koshirae. 2 Quote
Curran Posted June 2, 2018 Report Posted June 2, 2018 I'm enjoying the fittings, but then that is more my thing anyway. I figured the blade nakago might have been altered, as Ray [also in Florida, probably not too far from you] said. Fittings: the tsuba probably isn't original to the koshirae. It is more of an Owari style koshirae: From the peppercorn shakudo menuki, blue-ish ito wrap, saya work, tachi style kashira, and possibly a Mino blade. The tsuba is a Kyushu style. Though some rub damage to the shakudo, I like these simpler kinko flower design tsuba. I get why someone swapped it onto this koshirae. Sort of a mismatch, but works. I wonder what was the original tsuba. Quote
Brian Posted June 2, 2018 Report Posted June 2, 2018 Not me. But that hamon is so regular, it has to be able to be nailed down closer than this. Mino, yes. Agree the nakago was adjusted. Was part of the filemarks redone?I think it would be lovely in polish. Quote
Geraint Posted June 2, 2018 Report Posted June 2, 2018 Lot's to like about this one and I agree with Stephen, be great to see this in polish. Anyone else see Hitatsura? Nah, that's what we call hitatsura rust! Joking aside it would be instructive to look inside the tsuka to see if what the disturbed same on the outside is telling us is true, there is a possibility that this tsuka has been remounted. Of course it might just be someone's inept repair of some damaged same. The hamon is very regular and very wide, reaching up to the shinogi in the monouchi. Does not this suggest a later sword? Whatever you turn up we all want to see it in polish. Enjoy. All the best. Quote
Alex A Posted June 2, 2018 Report Posted June 2, 2018 Aye, must be tarnish/lighting, always difficult from pics. Also assuming its a later sword. Quote
