Hi, the Yari is I believe ' Iga no kami Kanemichi' I saw this on ebay last week. Did you buy it? The papers look ok. Looked like a very nice shinto yari, in very good polish. A bit high for my taste. But I don't remember what it sold for. Or if it did. I have seen it for sale before. Buy the same guy I think. Tomoyuki

I did bid on it ... up to 800. Another bid 802. But neither of us hit the reserve price. The buy-it-now was 5 grand. That was way out of my range for the next few years. The photos of the blade were titled 1664 (1668?). It was a beautiful polish, but I didn't like the fact that it appeared that the tang was cut off and rounded.

Yes, WAY to much. This looks like 2nd gen kanemichi. Known smith but not 5000 worth. I would say about 2000$ max. Even if it is 1st gen. which it could be. He would be very old at this time. The polish would cost 12-1500. T
