hmn I suppose it's Rapier and Dagger.

John.d.h · « **Reply #54 on:** 8 August 2011, 20:51:45 »

It's said to be a descendant of the rapier, but that's not quite it. The defining characteristic is the varying thickness of the blade.

wyvern · « **Reply #55 on:** 9 August 2011, 15:31:17 »

the little thing has to be a dagger or a sword breaker, the big thing is a small sword by my guess, if I'm right, anyone can go instead of me, I couldn't get the thing I wanted to show to work so...

John.d.h · « **Reply #56 on:** 9 August 2011, 16:45:39 »

I don't really care about the dagger. I just couldn't find a good picture of this sword without it.

The small sword (I believe) came later, and the rapier came much earlier. I'm not sure exactly how long this weapon was in use, but George Washington had one in his impressive arsenal of swords. The important thing to look at is how the blade suddenly transitions from fat to skinny.

PS -- If nobody gets it, I guess I'll try a new one tomorrow?

well it's wyvern's turn.

New rule: If someone doesn't post within two days from being declared the winner, then someone else should post.

So under that rule, post away!

Hagekura · « **Reply #66 on:** 15 August 2011, 03:16:18 »

So, that's it. sorry wyvern!

This Gusoku uses european-style cuirass on it's body. "天(ten = heaven)" kanji character is engraved on the chest. There are rabbit-ear Wakidate on both sides of the helmet. Whose armor is it?

Mr War · « **Reply #67 on:** 15 August 2011, 21:01:04 »

Now it's getting difficult. don't know who, but it's 安土桃山時代 , and at 名品ギャラリー

wyvern · « **Reply #68 on:** 15 August 2011, 21:03:28 »

no need to be sorry, I can't post pics for some reason, so it doesn't matter

Hagekura · « **Reply #69 on:** 15 August 2011, 22:17:53 »

Yes, the armor was made during Azuchi-momoyama period(about 1568 ~ 1600 A.D.), and now it's stored at the Tokyo National Museum. You're getting close! but yeah this time It's maybe a bit too harder.
Big Hint: He is an Akechi family.

Mr War · « **Reply #70 on:** 17 August 2011, 06:21:10 »

No idea man

Hagekura · « **Reply #71 on:** 18 August 2011, 05:37:26 »

Answer: Akechi Samanosuke Mitsuharu, or Hidemitsu

He has the legend that he ride across the Lake Biwa, later 明智左馬助湖水渡り(Akechi samanosuke ride across the lake water) became favored theme of Ukiyo-e artists.
