BIG Posted September 30, 2019 Author Report Posted September 30, 2019 Sorry.... https://www.keremeosreview.com/community/okanagan-mans-rare-muramasa-sword-carries-cursed-backstory/ Best Quote
Ray Singer Posted September 30, 2019 Report Posted September 30, 2019 It is real, and has been on two dealer sites. First here. http://www.nihonto.us/MURAMASA%20TANTO%20-%20NIDAI.htm 2 Quote
Ray Singer Posted September 30, 2019 Report Posted September 30, 2019 Later here with a gendai koshirae. https://web.archive.org/web/20141022220156/http://www.ricecracker.com/inventory/988_tanto_muramasa/988_tanto_muramasa.html Now in addition to the koshirae, it has acquired a box and a pile of manufactured provenance. 2 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted September 30, 2019 Report Posted September 30, 2019 Had a good chuckle over that load of absolute BS, thanks Peter. Quote
Ray Singer Posted September 30, 2019 Report Posted September 30, 2019 This sword seems to acquire something with each owner. Perhaps in the next round it will pick up a Hon'ami origami, written in ballpoint pen. 5 Quote

Ganko Posted September 30, 2019 Report Posted September 30, 2019 Thanks for the enlightenment Ray. You have the recollection of an elephant. 2 Quote
Ray Singer Posted September 30, 2019 Report Posted September 30, 2019 The burl oak box with plastic aoi-mon sticker was a classy touch. I emailed the newspaper with some supporting links, in case they would like to correct or remove the article. 3 Quote
Katsujinken Posted September 30, 2019 Report Posted September 30, 2019 I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. 2 Quote

Gakusee Posted October 1, 2019 Report Posted October 1, 2019 Well, I would advise whoever is looking at this (4 people per hour!) to inspect the mei very, very carefully........ 5 Quote
raynor Posted October 1, 2019 Report Posted October 1, 2019 Also Kaga style habaki, when I think Muramasa's school worked out of Ise? The alarm bells are a cacaphony at this point. 3 Quote
Blagoy Posted October 1, 2019 Report Posted October 1, 2019 The mei has nothing to do with the real Muramasa. 2 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted October 1, 2019 Report Posted October 1, 2019 Green papers: ✓ Suspect Habaki: ✓ Huge price: ✓ 1 Quote
cisco-san Posted October 1, 2019 Report Posted October 1, 2019 Green papers: ✓ Suspect Habaki: ✓ Huge price: ✓ ...this means "must be real" !! 3 Quote
Hoshi Posted October 1, 2019 Report Posted October 1, 2019 Green paper Muramasa on eBay: ✓ Enough said at this point. I have to admit the burley oak with plastic Mon sticker made me chuckle... 2 Quote
16k Posted October 1, 2019 Report Posted October 1, 2019 Thank you for the link! Looks as fake as my grandfather’s teeth! Quick! I have to buy it! 1 Quote
Stephen Posted October 1, 2019 Report Posted October 1, 2019 Not a link ...pic from the books you have. The ones i sold you. Quote
16k Posted October 1, 2019 Report Posted October 1, 2019 I know, Stephen, I was referring to the link for the eBay sale! Speaking of which, that mei looks so bad I wonder how could anyone have the guts to pass it up for the real deal. It’s so obviously fake! 1 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted October 1, 2019 Report Posted October 1, 2019 This would be a great reference piece for the articles section on the topic of gimei and just how dubious green papers can be, especially for big names. 2 Quote
Ray Singer Posted October 3, 2019 Report Posted October 3, 2019 Back up for sale today. http://www.ricecracker.com/inventory/988_tanto_muramasa/2068_tanto_muramasa.html 1 Quote
Gakusee Posted October 3, 2019 Report Posted October 3, 2019 Wow, it keeps acquiring fancy stuff such as a box, stand, koshirae etc Quote
