stackinnutts Posted August 23 Report Posted August 23 Any thoughts on this sword? Saw it at auction... Signed: Kyudo Nagasa:70.5cm. Sori:1.7m Moto-haba:3.1cm . Saki-haba: 2.0cm Moto-gasane: 0.7cm . Saki-gasane:0.4cm Quote
Ray Singer Posted August 23 Report Posted August 23 Omi (no) kami Minamoto Hisamichi, but from what I can see this is not an authentic Japanese sword. Sorry for the bad news, but it appears to be a fake. Good that you asked here first, and note that auctions are generally not a great place to source quality Japanese swords (and least, not before putting in a lot of study). 2 Quote

I saw it come up, but luckily I didn't pull any sort of trigger on it. Quote
