Rivkin Posted December 27, 2023 Report Posted December 27, 2023 Fail to see the issue here. 95% chance such rust can be polished out. The price is within range for a signed Nanbokucho blade in such condition. Now whether one believes this piece or not its a different matter and I do have some reservations. Quote
ROKUJURO Posted December 27, 2023 Report Posted December 27, 2023 Good polish! Is that HITATSURA? 2 Quote
ckaiserca Posted December 27, 2023 Report Posted December 27, 2023 I can't say I've ever seen so many mekugi-ana before. And the size of them seems unusual. 3 1 Quote

Matsunoki Posted December 28, 2023 Author Report Posted December 28, 2023 I was thinking more of the nakago and the (imo) obviously “added” mekugi ana. Quote

sabiji Posted December 28, 2023 Report Posted December 28, 2023 Well, I think I can still recognize the kanji "kane" just above the suriage in a way that was common in the Sue Mino. Then also on the omote as katana mei. I would rather be in the Sue Koto than around 1300. 1 Quote
reinhard Posted December 29, 2023 Report Posted December 29, 2023 I agree with Thomas. Most likely a twisted version of "Kane". reinhard 3 Quote
Stephen Posted December 30, 2023 Report Posted December 30, 2023 That was a good catch @reinhard I didn't see that small thumbnail just the other side Quote
Stephen Posted December 30, 2023 Report Posted December 30, 2023 Wondering what happened to @Ronniebeisme Hope he wasn't put off. Quote
