Gerry Posted Tuesday at 07:26 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 07:26 PM Here's another interesting one on Yahoo Auctions. A 3+ foot long shobuzukuri odachi in koshirae. The supposed story of how the sword is from a museum in LA seems imaginative. The hitatsura hamon looks quite unique to me, but the shape and quality of the habaki doesn't give me a good feeling. I always think that good blades always come with a high quality habaki. https://www.jauce.com/auction/r1159567193 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shugyosha Posted Tuesday at 07:31 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 07:31 PM Maybe a suriage, re-mounted nagamaki? Placement of the mekugi-ana seems off for a sword. I agree, it seems suspicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted Tuesday at 07:46 PM Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 07:46 PM Yes, I was suspecting that it was a suriage nagamaki too, but gosh, at over 4 lbs in weight just for the blade, that would have been quite a polearm to swing around. So maybe the votive word story in the listing holds some water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shugyosha Posted Tuesday at 08:05 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:05 PM Sorry, I didn’t follow the link - yes, that seems plausible and if it wasn’t made for use, it wouldn’t matter where the mekugi ana was placed. It’s certainly an oddity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that Walter Comptons personally owned collection is cycled through Jauce every few months if you believe the postings! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
