Wow....nice engraved EKs naoki matsumoto. However, they are hard to read. Can you lift the pins or read the engraving for us? -please. I really like the flieger one -naturally. Do you know anything about the recipient?

Hi,OK.

Please watch

The tsuka (handle) quite often, if not always, had menuki (ornaments) between the ito (braid) and the same (rayskin) to allow for a better grip on the handle. If you have ever used a katan you will know how much these little menuki help the swordman's grip.

This particiular katana has menuli of a cherry blossom and leaves design.

The kashira (buttcasp) is also visable and have no ornamentation.

Hi,This Nihon-tou is late of EDO?

A lot of splendid medals!

Naoki from Japan

Thanks for the reply Richard. I agree, its a bronze.

After a few days checking the forums, I just found out that it would seem that this is an unmarked L/18 B.H. Mayer (not so easy to find illustrations of this maker), so I presume private purchase piece.

There was a silver L/18 on Detlev's update yesterday and the reverse of one shown by Jaques (I was hoping for him to put an oar in here) on WA some time ago. Still it would be nice to get this confirmed to put me completely at ease.

Regards,

Pete

Good details Spanienkreuz bronze! I have one of bronze,but unmarked & 'CUT' swords.

Any experts out there that can tell me anything about this?

Are they common? How much are they worth?

Hi Ed,

Thanks for the reference. Wish I could find what I was looking for as they were a bit more specific. Really hate it when you're looking for something and can't find it again.

I do have another one coming that appears to have gilt applied to it, so that will be interesting.
