Hi all, Mr. Hoppen wants a confident dealing with his mails. He is going to prepare the sale items ( including pics) and will give a short notice when he finished the work. He did not post his work for the public, only for real interested people. Best

Think this kind of swords have a special market. The low to medium swords will sell eyeryday. The Tokubetsu Juyo will sell on a quiet market, but Mr. Hoppens swords need a middle class market, that broke away and did not recover soon. So the really good Hoppen swords, IMO have to make it in the upper class or did not sell for the current prices. The cry for pics is not necessary for selling in this case. Best
