[Volker62]

Hi Ronnie

 

 

Thanks for sharing, congrats

 

maybe we can get some close up pics??

 

 

Hada, Hamon ......

 

 

year ago I  saw a Sa Nobumitsu  made in soshu den

[oli]

So my second nihonto, gendaito from Taguchi Masatsugu. I love it very much, but from perspective as martial artist, it is very good balanced.

G'day Ronnie,

Is that ayasugi hada I can see on the "Gendaito(wakizashi with horimono): Sakai ju Okimoto Kunitada Saku - made in Showa 3rd (1928) 8th day of June"? Any chance of some better photos showing the hada?

Cheers,

Bryce

Yes, some fantastic swords you are sharing Ronnie but we can't see any details unfortunately!

[m4l700]

Dont think I've ever showed my Enomoto Sadayoshi / Yorimasa (later mukansa) before. One of the swords I enjoy the most in my collection. Pretty beefy blade with nice sori and sugata in my opinion Images dont do the sword justice, very difficult to take a proper photograph as you know! Enjoy anyway!

Thank you Ronnie, some really special pieces. Do some of these still retain the original mounts?

[lucidorise]

Hi John,

 

Most of them are in shirasaya.

the blades nagasa is 68,5 cm

 

and it is signed "Tame Maeda shi kore"

 

made for a Mr. Maeda

 

the feel of this blade, (with its high shinogi)  is fantastic, like a koto blade...........

[PNSSHOGUN]

Great sword Richard, did it come with original mounts?

[Cookie4Monstah]

My turn,

 

There's nothing really special to see with these. I just wanted to contribute to the thread. All three are unsigned.

 

Best,

Khalid

[David Flynn]

Khalid, these photo's don't show that your swords a Gendaito.  The bottom photo, appears to be a very straight blade, which could be Kambun Shinto, or Shinshinto.   Even unsigned, you need to show photo's of the Nakago.
