Jcremer24 Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 Had a buddy of mine send me this auction. The fittings I could do without I think and am mainly concerned about the signature and the blade. Cant really make a great assessment given the limited amount of pictures but figured I would being this to NMB to see if anyone has any input! Thanks all. Quote
Peter Bleed Posted March 26, 2021 Report Posted March 26, 2021 My "thought" is that this is a nice Echizen no Kami Nobuyoshi with what looks like a very early registration. Very collectable P Well, let me amend that to simply collectable. 1 Quote
Bazza Posted March 26, 2021 Report Posted March 26, 2021 I've hesitated because the pics are somewhat low res. I have two Nobuyoshi katana, one Hozon, the other Tokuho. My 'thought' about this one is that the tsuba is a dud and the fuchi shown a modern repro, which to me suggests a 're-dressed' blade for sale. I have no confidence in the blade signature at all - it looks 'wonky' and 'insubstantial'. Simply collectable as Peter says - if its genuine. I would need to have it in hand before acting on it. BaZZa. 2 Quote
