    Tsuba opinion

    I'm finding the og tsuba more attractive than others. Proper cleaning I would hope opinion change. @Ford Hallam is it lower end tsuba? Better if cleaned?
  2. Play the bad guy here. Before opening I expected something very sinister looking with the name from black dragons society. What happened to that photo mates? Kinda garrish with Pastel blue, was happy to find it better looking in latter photos I'd buy it if wishes were horses
  3. It's a cool wall hanger, better to have that stolen and not something valuable.
  4. It wasn't all that long ago when something other than true nihonto was posted instructions were given to show on the Sword Forum, luckily for you young'ens Brian is much more tolerably in his old age.
  5. DTM do you think that's a good horimono? 😆 more like horrorimono!
  6. Not a Fantasy island sword, it's a Chinese copy.....not old.
  7. It doesn't need a polish Andy. Just keep it oiled correctly, take it to a show, show it around and learn more, which is never-ending. Great piece of history in your hand learn more about Bizen school you'll appreciate it even more.
  8. Do lots more reading Andy it's a long adventure, tons of info on the board. Enjoy your time here.
  9. June in Orlando not a terrible long drive.
  10. Andy may I ask why you want to send it to Japan? IMHO it would really serve no purpose, for that price you could take it to a sword show that's going to have a shinsa. If you want to check it's mei, but if they fail it that would kinda taint it Imo I'd have to check events forum to see which one Is having a shinsa. So happy to hear your respecting your Gpa Legacy. Please keep us in the loop these stories are what a few of us old timers going.
  11. And what's the problem, none . Jason I'd buy some cotton gloves like curators use, if you feel the need. Looking forward to next.

    Let this slip slide away, kinda wish I kept up with the back and forth now. Around 3" just dig it but let go feeling I'd get into a ego oh no you don't bidding war. Any thoughts?
  17. SCORE!!
  18. Don't know why I thought the other was off, looks perfectly good here.
  19. Man I've always wanted one that, well done, usually not that robust. Love it!
  20. Basically my holy grail or the one before. Something I'll never reach. Book em Dan O
  21. A bit of grave digging so give me a pass please. Looking for something else I came across this. My how we as a group came together. Miss them days. Any chance we can get back to yearly raffle @Brian
  22. Well if your up on your Samurai lore, the ones in the shogun court did wear makeup going out for a night of merriment.
  23. Check Swordssmiths? That close of Masa Maybe masayasu and Masahiro same person or son/father. Just a WAG
