I actually had a very experienced collector from Australia, here comment on this with "Zorro" and then wrote "Zorro" wrong,actually something for little children not my humor I asked Markus and got an instructive explanation from him! a sprecial kind of forging technology proudly signed by Bungo Tadayuki in the Edo periode Thank's again to you and Markus Sesko

Michael guess the depicted one is a shodai.... few weeks ago a Nidai was offered to me by an well known americam dealer in 1883 pattern naval Kyu gunto for an utopian price without polish paper's

You have to imagine this I've been trying to send Mr. Rannow an email again for days, all of them come back to me as "UNDELIVERABLE"???????? what kind of buisinessman is this??????????????? can someone please explain this to me here?? I'm curious when Mr. Rannow will have the honor of giving me back my property, which has been lying around with him sine spring 2023!! not recommended this guy! to be continiuned

this sword was part of an exhibition at Toshiba here in Germany in Krefeld Fichtenhain Thank God it's in good hands today and is not just an item to make quick money

the whole sword is a dream and completely and survived in great condition the Gassan blade leaves nothing to be desired, in over 30 years of collecting, I've never been able to secure anything comparably more beautiful

by the way: the sword's story that it was presented to Kaiser Wilhelm is fictitious it was found by a Dealer named Manfred Winter from Bremen, who unfortunately has already passed away now He asked me about the headind of the kanji and offered it to me for a lot of thousend euro's unfortunately I wasn't able to pay his price to be continiued...............
