Jon Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Just spotted this nagintata that looks like it’s been profoundly abused, by someone welding a bayonet style socket to it allowing it to be bizarrely mounted…never seen the like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROKUJURO Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Jon, that is an early type of NAGINATA (not nagintata), called TSUKUSHI (or CHIKUSHI) NAGINATA. There have been similar weapons in Europe as well. I cannot tell if this is an old original one or (more likely) a later UTSUSHI/copy. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raaay Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Hi Jonathan , It was in Sworders auction a couple of months back , maybe it did not reach it's reserve price ? i see there are few other Japanese items from the previous auction, also in there next sale . it has already been said it is an older style of mounting , IMHO , presumably to give it extra strength when in use , just my two pence worth .
