Hi stephen if i win the hawleys books and the kozuka do i get a discount on shipping :D Worth a try ) Jeffrey H

I know this seller and he sells chinese fakes. I purchased one of his swords when i was very new to collecting went to get it valued and found out i was taken for a ride. Good old ebay would do nothing about him. So stay clear of this guy. J Harris

Ok so i did not win that one. So does anyone have a used copy they want to sell vol 1,2 ? Regards Jeffrey Harris

I am looking at a copy of Hawleys on ebay in library buckram did they sell the book this way? Have been looking for a copy and this is the fisrt i have seen liske this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... :IT&ih=004 Thanks in advance J harris

Here is one I used to model a tattoo i got Jeffrey H

Thanks for that justin. I live in brisbane so i dont have to worry about the police which is great. You also have the import paper work fee that is $50 to $70 aswell.Do you know of any sword clubs in QLD or Brisbane that are around? Jeffrey H

Thanks for that warrick. I will make sure when I find the sword I like that it doesnt have anything that can not be imported into australia. If that is the case what are the rules for shira sayas as they are wood. Do they have to be checked by customs aswell. Thanks in advance Jeffrey H

Thanks for that darcy I will talk to customs by phone. Being in Australia there is not the range of swords or the type I am looking for so that is why I am thinking about importing.I just want to make sure I do everything right as this is my first nihonto I will be purchasing. Regards Jeffrey

I was just wondering if any of the australian members on this site could help me out at all with any info about importing nihonto into australia. I have been on the customs site and still do not have any real answers. So I really don't know what tax rate they will charge and the paper work you have to send in to allow you to import. Any help or info would be great. Thanks in advance J harris

As I am very new to collecting Nihonto. I was looking at both the nihonto one of the members is selling on ebay . I am not sure which of the two would be the best to start my collection off with. The reason I would like the members input as I have been burnt on ebay before. Regards J Harris

Jock there is a guy in Brisbane that might be able to help you his name is John Summerville. He has been collecting for along time and I call him for info or any questions I have J Harris

I hate to admit it but i purchased one of these swords and got burnt. The guy needs to be shut down so no one else gets caught out. Jeffrey H
