Let me know if you need more details. I will update with measurements if needed. $2170 I will make a better deal for those who can pay in silver or gold coin or bullion.

Price drop to $6200. Not the right price? Let me hear your offer? If you want better pictures, arrange a zoom meeting with me and you get exactly what you want.

Does anyone know what is sold for?

Did JSSUS ever publish an issue covering this topic?

Anyone have a good book about Nodachi?

Wow

Who can provide express service in domestic usa with insurance for 10k?

Perfect sword. Just don't have the money.

Very interesting, but need pics

Marius. Thanks for the info. The tigers are modern and in the wrong category.

Need some help with this tsuba. Having a hard time nailing down the school, region, and era for this tsuba. Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/272332885580

Try to find out more, like if there is a shinsa?

Yes. Your former blade. I have 3 tsuba options for it.

Just wondering if naginata were ever body tested and signed like swords and how common was it compared to swords. Thanks, Mike

Ill look Brian up. Thanks for the info!

Since I am trying to mount it on a Shinsakuto without making it look like a dwarfs head on Arnold Schwarzenegger's body, I think I need something bigger than what is available from the antique pool.

The whole set up is awesome. Definitely a keeper set.

Roman says he can do it. I need them shinsakuto size, so about 42mm or so with a 33mm nakago ana.
