Hallo Ford and Piers, thank you for your open words and you are right with your words but I am not collecting for a long time and I started with this items and because the sellers havent told me so many details about the tsubas and the papers I tried in this forum to find out some more. If I made somebody in this forum angry with my acting I need to say sorry. Now I have some reverence material but maybe not the right stuff maybe you can give me some usefull advice what I need so that I can help myself like you all did. Sorry again and real thanks for your clear words. Best Sebastian
