IchiNi Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 Hi all i have no access to my books at the moment my "agent")) is in USA now and he's just emailed me the pics. the asking price is on the higher end $16K and also the paper does not look familiar although the translation says NBTHK -- or maybe i'm just being blind and its well after midnight over here - the blade is in shirasaya. any comments please? thanks in advance vlad Quote
cabowen Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 Papers are not from the NBTHK but from some group that I have never heard of...Maybe someone else is familiar with them. Blade looks like Yukihide work, except for the horimono.....at least on the surface.... Keep in mind that Yukihide is a favorite target of forgers and that bona fide Yukihide blades are typically priced at double or triple the asking price of this one.... Quote

Bugyotsuji Posted October 1, 2011 Report Posted October 1, 2011 大日本 ??? The organization's name starts with a pre-WWII 大 Dai, so if such a body existed, it would be the DNBTHK? That prefix Dai- makes it somehow suspicious to me. Am I the only one? Quote
