The blade shinogi-zukuri with iori-mune and ko-kissaki. ubu nakago mumei with single mekugi-ana, katte-sagari yasurime and ha-agari kuri-jiri. No doubt a Koto periode blade.

Edward Mahle Posted December 9, 2020 Report Posted December 9, 2020 Wow you have some beautiful swords my friend I promise I will be doing some business with you in the near future. Quote
TheGermanBastard Posted December 9, 2020 Author Report Posted December 9, 2020 Thanks for your kind remarks. Since it has been asked: There is a vertical scratch in the Shinogi near Kissaki (not a forging flaw) Quote
TheGermanBastard Posted August 29, 2021 Author Report Posted August 29, 2021 bump - scratch is likely a sword cut Quote
Greg F Posted September 3, 2021 Report Posted September 3, 2021 Louis out of curiosity can you please tell me what makes you think its likely a scratch caused by another sword? 1 Quote
Gakusee Posted September 3, 2021 Report Posted September 3, 2021 Sorry, but this does not look Bizen to me.....Bungo is a different call to Bizen 2 Quote
Alex A Posted September 3, 2021 Report Posted September 3, 2021 Nice sword Luis, especially the bright and thick Habuchi which really stands out. Reminds me of Bungo too, i gues its the nakago that has you leaning towards Bizen too maybe ?, perhaps a good clear shot of the nakago the right way up might help. Seen it written that many Bungo swords resemble Bizen closely. One for Shinsa should it bother the buyer enough. Quote

TheGermanBastard Posted September 12, 2021 Author Report Posted September 12, 2021 A more valuzed oppinion than mine would be to send the blade to a Shinsa if a new buyer wishes to. I can gurantee that the blade wikll paper / achieve Hozon. My images are poor as this was quick listing when I had intended to fund another purchase. I may relist the sword with better images 1 1 Quote
Volker62 Posted September 13, 2021 Report Posted September 13, 2021 looks very close to a Bungo shool for me Quote
NewB Posted September 15, 2021 Report Posted September 15, 2021 Looks Shinto to me Bungo Takada? Fujiwara Masayuki?? J. Quote
TheGermanBastard Posted September 15, 2021 Author Report Posted September 15, 2021 I feel the only way we can tell for sure is that somebody buys it in order to submitt it for Shinsa 1 1 Quote
