Ray Singer Posted July 23, 2019 Report Posted July 23, 2019 Things have been a bit quiet in terms of sales, so bringing out the big guns (literally). This is one of the largest Nanbokucho blades one is likely to encounter. It has a tremendously wide mihaba with moto-haba of 41mm and saki-haba of 31mm. Nagasa is 62cm. The hamon is gonome with utsuri throughout its length. Jihada is mostly a fine itame with ji-nie, with just a few coarse spots. The blade is in polish, with shirasaya and a fine two piece silver habaki. It has old NBTHK papers to Hokke Ichijo. With the understanding that these papers are no longer supported, I want to note in the listing that it has never been resubmitted for newer kanteisho.SOLDAny questions, please email raymondsinger@gmail.com.Best regards,Ray 14 Quote

vajo Posted July 23, 2019 Report Posted July 23, 2019 In german i would call this sword a "Gassenhauer". What a cool sword Ray. 2 Quote
Ray Singer Posted July 23, 2019 Author Report Posted July 23, 2019 Thanks everyone. I do need to take a photograph next to a 'normal sized' sword so that the scale can be appreciated. In the photo it almost looks like a wakizashi, rather than a 62cm daito. Best regards, Ray 2 Quote
Stephen Posted July 23, 2019 Report Posted July 23, 2019 glad you said that, i was thinking wakizashi. 1 Quote

vajo Posted July 24, 2019 Report Posted July 24, 2019 Yes Thomas, you are right. A Flamberger sword (i posses 3 pieces in my old medieval collection) looks totaly different. But this sword here looks really stunning. As i wrote to a member it reminds me on a pirate saber (cutless). A very cool sword which i would buy immediately if i had some some money in my nihonto pocket 2 Quote
Alex A Posted July 25, 2019 Report Posted July 25, 2019 Some desirable swords in the sales section at the moment Im trying not to look, bad timing for me, but hopefully another time. Quote
flo06 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Posted August 21, 2019 Wow, what a monster ! Interesting sword for any serious collectors. Quote
