Was going to list these koshirae a bit ago but fell a bit behind.
First up, what I'm dubbing my "Min-Max" katana. Bought a piece in disrepair from Komonjo off eBay.
Blade is basically perfect with very faint scuffs from sheathing and unsheathing.
7mm thick, right at 70cm in length. Copper habaki and seppa, iron fuchi and kashira and tsuba in carp and water lily theme. Centipede menuki. Blade is suguha with some of the tightest hada I have seen. Bright mirror polish.
Tsuka it 23.2cm long. A bit on the short side, but the exact length of the nakago. Also fixed a mistake where the maker drilled the nakago ana in the tsuka at the wrong angle. Mekugi fits very tight and draws the tsuka on tighter as it should. Original tsukamaki, all I did was change out the fuchi and kashira.
The saya is also as short as it can possibly be and still fit. The end of the saya had a small split, I had to cut the end off and I added a rounded kojiri at the end. Saya has been lacquered to cover some small spots and chips in the finish. Brass koiguchi added.
That's why I call it the Min-Max katana. Everything is as short as it can possibly be.
Asking $930 shipped US.
Also, some seppa, tsuba, fuchi, kashira, koiguchi, and kojiri. Asking $75 for everything in one pack, shipped US. I don't want to sell off individual bits one by one, buyer gets everything.
More soon, listings updated as I go.

One more item to add.
Late Edo nihonto. No signature, unknown attribution. Good shape, some minor forge weld openings but nothing bad. In good polish with a silver habaki. The habaki fit is very tight, couldn't get it off, afraid to try harder because silver is a soft metal.
Shirasaya in very good shape.
70.6cm edge, 6mm thick. About 3cm wide at the habaki. 2cm sori.
Asking SOLD

The koshirae set will be free if the katana is purchased and you want it.
I'll also take $900 for the min max shipped US if just the katana
