Fung Posted January 15, 2019 Report Posted January 15, 2019 In search of a nice and flawless Yasukuni sword. Could be in shirasaya or gunto mount. Thank you! Quote
Fung Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Posted January 17, 2019 depends on whether there is a cert and the quality of the sword Quote
IJASWORDS Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 How much for a flawless, papered with gunto mounts and shira-saya? Quote
lonely panet Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 Imho, not that iv looked lately but I would guess $ 5k to $8k Usd depending on the tosho, and pre or post 1940 will play a small part Quote

Fung Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Posted January 18, 2019 Thanks Stephen, I saw many posts in this forum for that seller...I am not confident enough to find one with him after reading those posts Quote
Stephen Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 He does have a reputation doesn't he I'm not standing up for him but he moves tons of swords. At least as many has he has on now. Every week...the cleaning up of hamon to pop most worrisome. That said he has sold some major swords one has to know what one is buying chin up chip chip cheerio! Hence the homework! 1 Quote

Ray Singer Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 https://www.aoijapan.com/katana-yasunori/ Excellent smith and nicely curated koshirae. Much to like here. 1 Quote
seattle1 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Hello: I try to avoid comment on blades for sale, but viewing it as a request from a newer NMB member I would like to underscore the excellent suggestion from the ever helpful Ray Singer posted above. It does look like a very nice sword, Yasutoku/Yasunori being one of the two original smiths at the Shrine. Koshirae as seen are not to be preferred to flawless original shin-gunto as it would originally have had, but the quality of the mounts seem fine. Don't be put off by the copper habaki as it is the original one for the blade and worth preservation its self. Arnold F. 1 Quote
