lonely panet Posted September 6 Report Posted September 6 its abit annoying that the mekugi ana was put through the mei, and the habaki is catching my eye for the wrong reason. iv owned yasukunito but never a imperial gift sword but i would expect something better formed. maybe the original was damaged or lost and new one was made??

Gerry Posted September 6 Author Report Posted September 6 Yes, it is rather odd that they put the only mekugi ana right through the Yasu character. I wonder if that affects the value of the sword? Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted September 7 Report Posted September 7 Nothing suspicious about the sword, it is correctly signed Yasumitsu Kin Saku as all Onshi should be. The Habaki is consistent with other Onshi. Knowledge is power. 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted September 7 Report Posted September 7 @PNSSHOGUN John, Are the habaki you posted from your files? I don't see them on the Jauce auction gunto. @Gerry - Thanks for posting this. I've gotten some great Imperial Gift habaki to add to my files, and all of these are better than the one I had in the Stamps doc. I've updated the document with a good one from this thread. Quote
Gerry Posted September 13 Author Report Posted September 13 Some people really wanted this sword...the auction closes at 3,011,000yen . 1 Quote
