Hey Paul Possibly. However I did locate which catalog it's from. The Beauty of Sword Fittings Heirloomed by the Ii Family" published by the Hikone Castle Museum. Cover attached. If anybody has this and will sell, or has location of copy for sale. please contact me. Thank you

Hello all, I am looking for the book title containing this Gassaku tsuba by Yanagawa Naomasa & Kōfu-jū Akao Yoshitsugu. If you can identify the book and or know of a copy for sale, please contact me at info@samuraisword.com I am also interested in the purchase of this tsuba if located. Thank you.

All dai token ichi catalog translations are free but for 2022. I have three catalogs for 2022 remaining and a full printed translation is included. Once the last three catalogs are sold, 2022 will also be free to all. I buy 7-10 catalogs each year then have them shipped to me in the United States. The annual dti catalog sales pay for the catalog, shipping from Japan & translation cost. Please see my newly designed website linked below. Look under the for sale tab then under books on any page on my site. The price is listed on my site. Prior prices and shipping may be in accurate as USPS raised their rates. I can also bring to a sword show if I'm attending if you pay in advance and depending on availability. Thanks Tim Pepin www.samuraisword.com Telephone 1-608-315-0083 PO Box 2641 La Crosse Wisconsin 54602 USA Info@samuraisword.com Facebook Instagram Via Whatsapp - calls only please

I'll be in attendance. Thanks Tim Pepin www.samuraisword.com Telephone 1-608-315-0083 Also on Whatsapp - if you prefer text, text me here otherwise email is my preference for tracking purposes.

Thanks, I also just added the DTI index translations for 2013 & 2014.

I have the 2015-2017 for free download on my current site @ http://shamuraisword.com/events/ As Uwe said they don't offer the translation any longer. 2018-2019 will be fee based until I recoup my translation costs, see link. There is a lot of good information in the translations, many many swords to enjoy to associate with the catalog. I will have them translated annually as long as I recoup my costs, after that they will be on my site for free. Delivery will be via email for the time being. I do have 4 more catalogs remaining I'll sell. If someone wants one let me know. They are $68 each shipped priority mail with the USA, outside the USA is on a case by case basis for actual shipping. I think I can send first class for an reasonable amount. International price is $60 before shipping cost. I get a dozen every year, the catalog fees cover my cost to acquire and ship back so I break even. Tim Pepin www.samuraisword.com 1-608-315-0083 New website is in production.

I have the translation of 2018, later this month I'll have the 2019 index translation. As you know the index contains sword information for each plate. My website has free translation for years 2015-2017 just look under events: dai token ichi on my current site.

Brian - you're correct. Just yesterday, the feed back the nmb link was still there. and it is lindy2277 When auction is canceled - it just states invalid item. Since it was a violation they cannot leave it up. That's a load of bs regarding the feedback. I guess this ebays solution - "immunity" I don't think account was hacked - if so the owner would of been pestering ebay to fix issue also. Instead this guy has 4 auctions by me canceled and two others by someone else - which that feed back is gone also. Eveybody PLEASE call the tel # i cited above and cite auction #'s... Ask why after 4 repeated offences lindy2277 is still on ebay." Ask for "Dax" If we let them know we care - maybe they will act!

I spoke to a guy named Dax at the eBay Presidents office (at the tel # I posted previously), a specialist that works for the eBay President. He is looking into the situation. I asked why lindy2277 is still on eBay in light of the recent past and he mentioned something about vero only having one record of this posting occuring in the past. He wasn't sure though and has to check it out. I got his email address and forwarded all the prior auctions to prove they exist. Supposidly he will get back to me by the end of the day. As of now the auction is still going and is up to a whopping $15.01 USD I hope they take some action this time. I guess we'll see.

Any body that is willing... Call this # 1-801-545-2276 (eBay President, Direct Number Salt Lake City -- Toll Number) --> I just did... Ask to be transfered to the eBay President and or his assistant. Site the ebay item #'s current and the last 3 that Lindy2277 has posted this auction. Tell eBay you're concerned about this issue because it could also happen to you.

Yeah I saw that... glad one of us managed to get it on his feedback... however, as long as eBay refuses to act this broken record will keeping playing on and on and on... Here is a statement from eBay... <<<<<<<<<<< How eBay Protects Intellectual Property (VeRO) http://pages.ebay.com/help/tp/programs-vero-ov.html "eBay is committed to protecting the intellectual property rights of third parties and to providing its users with a safe place to trade. eBay created the Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) Program so that intellectual property owners could easily report listings that infringe their rights. It is in eBay’s interest to ensure that infringing items are removed from the site, as they erode buyer and seller trust." If you are a Verified Rights Owner and want to report a listing issue, see Reporting Intellectual Property Infringements. http://pages.ebay.com/help/tp/vero-rights-owner.html >>>>>>>>>>> Maybe eBay can earn our trust by playing a more active roll in removing auctions of this type and actively enforcing there policies! http://www.samuraisword.com

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/encouraging.html This is eBays Infringement Policy - a load of BS if you ask me! Encouraging Infringement Policy Sellers may not use the eBay site to enable, encourage or instruct others to infringe copyrights, trademarks or other rights. Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including: Listing cancellation Limits on account privileges Account suspension Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings Loss of PowerSeller status //////////// OR a 5th option: - LIFE TIME IMMUNITY ON EBAY NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU VIOLATE THE POLICIES.

Agreed... eBay doesn't give a flying $% just so they get their listing fees! I've asked everytime - when they would cancel his user ID - NO ACTION AS USUAL. Tim http://www.samuraisword.com

fyi to all board members... Yoshitake daisho - Yes its back on eBay... Are you suprised... I am not! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... SS:US:1123 I have already emailed and faxed ebay of the violation. 2nd time in less than three weeks and fourth time in 4 months. See old postings!!! http://www.samuraisword.com/nihontodisp ... y_post.htm Tim http://www.samuraisword.com

Well as an last ditch effort I was able to open a different ebay account and bid up the auction to 15k after which eBay would not let me bid more. Someone then came back and bid to 19k then 20k before I gave in and hit the sack. Below is what eBay told me... -----Original Message----- From: eBay Customer Support [mailto] Sent: Monday, July 14, 2008 1:48 AM To: Tim Pepin Subject: VE62828 Ended Response to your email to eBay's VeRO Department. (KMM296622307V15839L0KM) Dear Tim, Thank you for writing eBay in regard to repeat listing. eBay continually reviews the accounts of repeat offenders and takes appropriate action. In general terms, the action we take may range from an informational alert to a complete suspension of eBay privileges. Please note that due to privacy concerns, we are unable to disclose the action we have taken or may take regarding a user's account. If there are additional listings you would like to report as infringing your intellectual property rights, please submit a Notice of Claimed Infringement to vero@ebay.com. Each time a listing is removed through the VeRO Program, the seller is reviewed for further action.

ANYBODY WANT TO BID IN MY STEAD THAT ISN'T BLOCKED - HAVE AT IT!

TRIED TO BID 7K JUST NOW AND THE FOLLOWING IS WHAT I WAS NOTIFIED... ------------------------- Place Bid Hello samuraisword! (Not you?) Transaction Blocked Unfortunately, this seller has decided that you are not permitted to bid on their listings. You may contact the seller via the Ask Seller Questions feature if you want additional details. Please note: You may not use other eBay accounts to bid on this seller's listings. Doing so may result in your indefinite suspension from eBay. ----------------------- MY PERSONAL MSG TO SELLER IS - #$&@ $#&!!!!!!!!!

GUYS I AM SO TIRED OF THIS GUYS BS! YOU WONDER WHY EBAY IS BEING SUED HERE IN THE U.S. BY TIFFANYS AND INTERNATIONALLY BY OTHER COMPANIES FOR ALLOWING FRAUDLENT AND FAKE ITEMS BELOW SOLD WITH NO ATTEMPTS TO STOP DUE TO THE HUGE SLEW OF $$$$$$$$$$$$ THEY MAKE ON THE LISTING FEES ---- ITS BECAUSE THEY DON'T GIVE A FLYING #@%! AS LONG AS THAT MONEY IS LINING THEIR POCKETS WITH MORE GOLD THAN THEY COULD EVER FIND A PLACE TO HOLD IT. I WILL WRITE THE CEO AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS NEXT WEEK - I WILL NOT LET THIS A$#HOLE DICTATE MY ALREADY TOO BUSY SCHEDULE. THANKS TO ALL YOU THAT PERSISTENTLY KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR BASTARDS SUCH AS lindy2277.

Anyone can email eBay direct at vero@ebay.com you have to be an existing VeRO participant... but trying never hurts. - All you have to do is send a link of where the item is on the internet that was copied and give item # on eBay. - Explain in detail what was infringed on... - It works for text / descriptions (all or anything used in parts) and images used without permission. Generally I get a result in a few hours or less... in this case I emailed them today at 7:24 am they replied at 8:48 am CST with notice of the canceled auction... http://www.samuraisword.com

eBay # (260244682916) has been canceled!

Have some fun its up to 200k now. http://www.samuraisword.com

I've already emailed VERO at ebay for its speedy removal and also bidded it up to 15k with max bid of 100,000 to discourage further bidding! Thanks to all that scour eBay for FRAUDSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See link ---> http://www.samuraisword.com/nihontodisp ... y_post.htm for the old eBay post in April... Thanks again!!! http://www.samuraisword.com
