Beautiful sword Daniel. Thanks for sharing. Andy -
Hi Javier, I think the shape of the helmet is Akoda Nari. The laquer is not in good condition and the nose piece on the menpo does not match but I'm sure others will be able to give you more information. Regards, Andy

Brian, yes as soon as I have concluded my business with them I will seek a written statement. The Fedex representative that I have been dealing with in the UK has a title of "Dangerous Goods Specialist" - very apologetic and also very helpful in getting the blade quickly cleared through customs for next day pick up so I will see if he can give me the statement of their position on shipping antique Japanese swords both within the UK and Internationally.

An update from the UK. Fedex have just refused to deliver a sword to me coming into the UK from Canada. It was stuck at Stansted and I was told that the sword should not have been accepted by Fedex in Canada and should be returned to sender but as an alternative I was given the option to either arrange a private courier to pick it up from Stansted or pick it up in person. Okay, I was lucky and had the option to collect but it seems Fedex are tightening their restrictions even outside of Japan. Andy
