JunS Posted Thursday at 07:45 PM Report Posted Thursday at 07:45 PM Hi, I found this Nihonto on Ebay. Price is about 800 EUR. Nagasa is 69cm Do you think it is a katana or a tachi? In Handachi Koshirae. Is it worth the price? The seller told me it was in the estate of a british military senior officer. What do you think about the sword (age, school, health of the blade)? Are the fitting of a decent quality? I already asked the seller to make better photos of the whole blade and I will post them here. Better and more photos are on the Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18-rPblXj7Z0nIi0ktWccRA2hX-y0a5fL?usp=sharing Quote
oli Posted Thursday at 08:38 PM Report Posted Thursday at 08:38 PM Interesting Habaki... the blade needs a polish and complete restoration of the Koshiara. Do you want to invest some thousands Euro for restoration? Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted yesterday at 01:35 AM Report Posted yesterday at 01:35 AM For 800 Euros it's a gamble, the blade has a good shape but there are some large Mune-Ware that give one pause. Decent quality Koshirae, it could be something good but would require quite a bit of money and expertise invested. 1 Quote
