Absolutely hate to do this but some real life changes has happened since I bought this. very unique sword and i am letting it go.


Gunto in late war mount I 

 

Mei: Cho shu ju fujiwara Moriyasu

 

Inlay: Meiji Boshin war, for leading troops in attacking the state of Yamashiro, I was awarded this sword by my lord. For peace of the world, I name this sword the sunrise/Akebono Maru, signed MichiSato

 

nagasa is 25 inches, there are scratches and stains throughout the blade but no crack/HAgiri, some scratches at the boshi but they are Scratches only. Ive confirmed with Togishi that it can be polished out. 
 

im asking $2000 for this sword, in the short time I’ve been collecting I’ve not had a sword with a story. Name and a previous owner

Hi Tim, very interesting sword and congrats to the new owner. In the photo of the inscription it looks like it is done in silver, or is it just filled with talcum powder?

Oh wow, that’s a story! I love the history of the Boshin War. Honestly, it’s probably better for my marital health that this went so quickly and I didn’t have a chance to consider it 😬 😂 

 

Congratulations, Timothy, and to the new owner as well.
