nickm Posted September 16, 2021 Report Posted September 16, 2021 Very strange sword up for auction. Assume the signature is likely guy may as it seems newer than the rest of it and the nakago is weird but can see in one photo that it is apparently authenticly made at least.. No intent on bidding on it just curious as to the shape and nakago Quote
Geraint Posted September 16, 2021 Report Posted September 16, 2021 Dear Nick. Relieved to hear that you are not planning to bid, this is horrible! It is pretending to be a kogarasumaru zukuri by Nagamitsu, the same Nagamitsu who works in the Pearl Garden Chinese restaurant down the road. "Nothing to see here, move along now, move along!" All the best. 6 Quote
nickm Posted September 16, 2021 Author Report Posted September 16, 2021 Lol. Thanks for the confirmation Quote
MHC Posted September 17, 2021 Report Posted September 17, 2021 Just like 99% of what that auction site has to offer.....Chinese fakes, WWII machine made blades purported to be 16th, 17th, 18th century "treasures", horrible condition, worthless stuff...pluuttttth! {bolwing a massive raspberry}.

DTM72 Posted September 17, 2021 Report Posted September 17, 2021 It looks alot like the Murata sword from Meiji but those were signed Kunimasa or Tsunatoshi. This does not seem to be legit. @Bruce Pennington 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted September 17, 2021 Report Posted September 17, 2021 I think @Kiipu and @PNSSHOGUN are the guys to ask on this. Quote

Geraint Posted September 18, 2021 Report Posted September 18, 2021 Not so good anymore, old Nagamitsu has suffered years of neglect and is all bent out of shape. His outfits are not what they used to be. All the best. Quote
nickm Posted September 19, 2021 Author Report Posted September 19, 2021 It didn't even meet the opening 500 dollar bid Quote
