johnb Posted March 27, 2010 Report Posted March 27, 2010 Three more from my funny little antique dealer. Im off to live in singapore so I'll have to leave him my number, he's turned up half a dozen swords for me. This one, a big shinto wakizashi I believe, and all very original. the saya was in a sorry state, split and broken with the koiguchi snapped off. Now repaired an re-urushied in the original deep brown. Also had to make up a seriously fat castleated seppa to stop the whole thing rattling. Nice to find something in what seems such an original state. 600 bucks well spent...help with identification most appreciated. Sori 11mm, Nagasa 550 mm, kissaki 42 mm, and nagako 150 mm. John B Quote
Gunome Posted March 27, 2010 Report Posted March 27, 2010 Hi, Nice blade ! For me it is a shinto genroku area blade because of the yakidashi, nagasa 55cm and extended chu kissaki. Maybe mino's style due to the sanbon sugi ?? Sebastien Quote
Gunome Posted March 28, 2010 Report Posted March 28, 2010 Maybe mino's style due to the sanbon sugi ?? As discussed with John, hamon it is not sanbon sugi but gunome midareba Sorry for the mistake Sebastien Quote
