drb 1643 Posted December 17, 2018 Report Posted December 17, 2018 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Japanese-WWll-Naval-officers-sword-Minatogawa-Masataka-kikusui-mon-tassel/352542235258 I'm thinking this one was legit but would like to hear from the experts. Thank you very much, Tom 1 Quote
Gakusee Posted December 17, 2018 Report Posted December 17, 2018 I had to rub my eyes to check if I was seeing the price right and that it was indeed over $9000 and not $900 Quote
Yukihiro Posted December 17, 2018 Report Posted December 17, 2018 Well, Showa22 is now a wealthier man... Quote
vajo Posted December 17, 2018 Report Posted December 17, 2018 This is the 4th Masataka in 4 weeks.... Maybe Kumonji und Showa had found a secret Minatogawa chamber 1 Quote
drb 1643 Posted December 17, 2018 Author Report Posted December 17, 2018 So I’m guessing from the responses that this was also a “fake”. Tom Quote
tokashikibob Posted December 18, 2018 Report Posted December 18, 2018 Nice acid etch on the hamon to make it pop followed with some hazuya. That guy is a busy man. Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted December 18, 2018 Report Posted December 18, 2018 With Showas items you really have to know your stuff, even then I'm never 100% certain anymore after seeing the komonjo Gimei. For 9k someone must've seen more than us. 1 Quote
Yukihiro Posted December 18, 2018 Report Posted December 18, 2018 Two guys were competing, none of them wanted to give up, and up went the auction. That simple. The luckier of the two is the one who didn't get the sword. 4 Quote
