John God bless you for eternal times. Thank you

Can I ask for translation help? Thank you so much.

only hadori

The publication does not mean anything. ( I have some ) Quality is crucial, nothing more.

and what ?

found : https://www.aoijapan.com/img/sword/2016/16656koshirae.jpg But I do not see it either on offer or sold.

Last week, a katana with a brass koshirae was auctioned. I can not find it. Does anyone have a link ?

Gallery ( he is OK )

A poor photo attempt, hamon is not much to see, it's blunted. If the sword was in 100% fit, it would certainly cost more more money

Hermann Historica does not sell anything interesting. As you mentioned, mostly low end. Ott collection was an exception, but at totally ridiculously high prices. In particular, the auction bonuses scare me. 25- 30% I have experience with auction houses. Their experts are also strange, they do not really understand much about it.

That they would remember, I do not think. That's silly. Think about it - do they remember thousands and thousands of swords? Surely not. I rather mean some technical measures. Such as torokusho number comparison, agent name etc ...That's what I'm asking. Not information: someone said .... but only facts.Otherwise we will not move.

No answear on my question in 28 ???

Does it make sense to send it back later to NBTHK ? Are they able to see that it was already there and failed? ? What is better ? NTHK or NTHK-NPO ?

Because most collectors prefer NBTHK paper. I do not. If they issue a document, they do not write anything, period, generation, hamon, etc etc ... Obsolete : Not because the swords did not pass. Because they do not speak English. They do not write English. They do not publish the results. They do not have online document checking. You can not send a sword directly to them. They will not send it back to you. Everything has to go through the agents. They do not meet deadlines. It takes them all a long time. Nor do I know who is in the commission. (Once I met Judge Shinsa ia AOI, I showed him something, he told me, do not try to shinsa- gimei, and I sent it to shinsa - and the result was Hozon.) But one more time: Does it make sense to send it back to NBTHK again? Do they know they have not passed last time ?

So, finally, I got a message from the agent. All blades (5) do not pass. I do not understand that. I would have liked to bet that at least two were fine. I think there's something wrong with NBTHK shinsa. Perhaps they had a lot and did not want to examine properly. That brings me another question. Does it make sense to send it back later ? Do they know then that it was already there ? Or maybe I should try NTHK ? I do not like NBTHK anyway. They are obsolete.

Not another, a little difference

I think it's a battle sword. direct sale

for sale this : http://www.arcimboldo.cz/en/auctions/asian-works-of-art-8/katalog/3574/a-huge-and-rare-sword-odachi/ I can send more photos on request. 10 000 EURO

How do I find out if the agent ever submitted it? I suspect he did not send them there.
