meteoritefinder

That would be great I hope to find out when this event will be held next. Thanks

Hello everyone and thanks for all the great discussion. Also thanks for the welcomes and hello's! I understand that there are many experts from around the world here. Is there somewhere I can take my sword or (safely) ship it to have it looked at and find out all we could know about it. Maybe get a written statment about its history? Or at least a written statment (opinion) from an expert, perhaps someone here on this list?

Wow Brian thanks for the lesson. That is awesome! So this sword might be as old as the 1400's. That would be totaly incredible!

Hi Darcy thanks for the information. I will have to spend some time looking up the names you are using so I will understad what you said. Thanks again.

Hi Stephen and thanks for the welcome :D I traded meteorites for it from a dealer here in Kingman, he deals in many different types of art and weapons. So did you say it might be older than mid 1800's ?

Hello everyone my name is Mike Miller and I am into meteorites. I hunt them, I also cut and etch them for a living. I am in Kinmgan AZ and have always been facinated with Japanese swords. Although I must admit I have learned very little about them. I will include some pictures and hopefully someone here can tell me something about my sword. About all I was told was it was made in the mid 1800's and it is a Samurai sword. I apreciate any help you can give and I am not selling it, but it could become nesecary if business does not pick up pretty soon.
