vondude Posted September 23, 2022 Report Posted September 23, 2022 For sale is muromachi period mumei wakizashi in shirasaya setup with NBTHK judgement paperwork. I purchased this from daimyou54eb and had this for about a year. Still has a decent polish and very visible hada and hamon. From the habaki to the tip of the blade measures 16.75 inches in length. The habaki is a little on the loose side but still functional. Asking $1,500 Quote

ROKUJURO Posted October 11, 2022 Report Posted October 11, 2022 To me, this looks like a very good offer. A nicely shaped MUROMACHI blade in good condition with papers - have one made new at that price! (I am hoping to get $ 900.-- from EK for my comment) 1 Quote

vondude Posted October 14, 2022 Author Report Posted October 14, 2022 As I understand it the judgement paper says "attributed to Shiga Seki Kanenobu" which makes it mid to late Muromachi period. 1 Quote

(I am hoping to get $ 900.-- from EK for my comment) Agree Jean, hence why i expressed my interest with the seller, wouldn't usually go for mumei nowadays but see it as a fair deal. The shape is interesting , never owned one like this and like Seki. There is difficulties here though, for both seller and buyer. The seller is new to this site so that makes selling difficult as folk are cautious about sending hard earned money to folk they don't know. If all was well, would have suggested a middle man, someone well known. Even if the seller sold with someone like Ray on commission im pretty sure he would have received his asking price after the sale. Im still waiting for better images. The sword is advertised here but im no member so cant view. https://sbg-sword-forum.forums.net/thread/next/69278 Quote
vondude Posted October 16, 2022 Author Report Posted October 16, 2022 I really appreciated the interest. I learned more about this item thanks (over8ted) but I would like to end the sale. Quote

Seth Posted November 14, 2022 Report Posted November 14, 2022 For what it's worth, I purchased a blade from EK on a Sunday and he had me a tracking number the next day. It arrived with no issues. 1 Quote
vfl Posted December 12, 2022 Report Posted December 12, 2022 New to the board (first post), but I purchased this item over on SBG and EK/Vondude had it shipped out ASAP and it was very well packaged. Would definitely buy from him again. Quote
