[1tallsword]

good day folks.  this has been discussed in two places on this forum and I thank all that tuned in to help with knowledge. for that I would like to offer this fine piece for the first time here to all members. if sale is completed here I will give a healthy donation to forum.  this is a beautiful koto wakizashi. it has a beautiful Ayasugi hada, like breaking of ocean waves through out the ji, and  ha touching the very cutting edge.  . the  cutting length is 16 inches. 1inch and 1/16 wide blade, blade is nearly 1/4 inch thick.  the blade has no fatal flaws (kizu) and no  hagire. it is a wide thick blade with high shinogi-ji sloping towards the Muni. there is some beautiful Utsuri , koshi-sori and saki-sori. the blade is mumei o-suriage. im leaning towards Gassan school. it has beautiful all matching goto fitings, gold dragon theme. the blade of the kozuka is signed daijo fujiwara suksada  (6th generation) i believe.  the fuchi kashira is signed goto shujo kao (mitsutaka) 13th goto  master . the wrap on the tsuka is perfect and mint, the ray skin is of the highest quality and shows 3 large bumps. the seppa are gold and match, the habaki is two piece gold. nothing mismatched or gobbled together. very elegant original sword bag which is included as well.  the whole works for $6500 shipping included. thank you.

Good deal- the fittings are first class and possibly every bit as costly as the blade itself
