Caracal Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 Here is my Tanto that I have thoughts about. Nagasa 9 inches, Suriage, suguha, Old polish, Hamidashi tsuba in brass engraved millet ear, Lobster style issaku koshirae, Kojiri brass plate, a lobster tail is engraved, Kozuka brass plate, engraved millet ear. Kogai brass plate, engraved millet ear. Menuki in the form of whispers, Sugata hira tsukuri. *Too bad a surigata is missing. What time period can it be for blade, it is a mumei blade. Interested in all the information about this Tanton.... // Robert Quote
Rich S Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 IMHO, Shinshinto in Sendai (Ogaki) mounts. I have one in similar mounts, but not as nice as yours. Rich Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted October 14, 2020 Report Posted October 14, 2020 Robert, please post a photo of the completely bare blade. That's how we can determine jidai (age), & is the first think to do in kantei (evaluation). 1 Quote
Caracal Posted October 14, 2020 Author Report Posted October 14, 2020 Hi Ken Here is a picture of my Tanto, hope you can give me advice on what period it can be from and more ... // Robert Quote
uwe Posted October 14, 2020 Report Posted October 14, 2020 For the sake of completeness. The kogatana bears the inscription “相模守政常” (Sagami no Kami Masatsune), if I got it right. That, however, means not much.... Quote
