    No limiting, just flat out.. If you know only four makers, write unknown from number 5 to 10. Come in with your list until the last day of the month, the winner price is a big hand.. Here is the original winner list..http://to-ken.uk/onewebmedia/Programme%2047%2003-03-1969.pdf Best Regards

    Fooling around, there's an old token society programme with very int. issues. A Kurosawa film, new collectors/beginning collector advice, thoughts about collecting quantity or quality and a W.M. Hawley letter about "gift" swords.. And the winner of a "the ten best sword fittings makers" competition wrote down his choice. What about a competition here on NMB? Best Regards

    I think that Jean is on spot with " an opinion " , but more important is the sensei's decision to write and sign. So the value is the senseis gift to rank a sword ( and a smith) higher than others. Best Regards
