    Hi guys, what school if at all could this tsuba lean towards??
  5. lonely panet
    I have some tsuba in that price range but like gray said. Unless your very very very very very very lucky, the only thing that price range will get is junk

    The blade is most likely not a true nihonto. The vast majority of these sword model have Blacksmith style blades. So a talented Blacksmith might be able to help, as the metal in these types of blade can be springy. . Pics will help, as i dont see a mekugi so i bet its either a screw in the pommel or a peened over end

    i have little time for john but i hole heartly agree with him, that was a poorly setup ebay sale that stood to land a eagle eyed collector a great bargin, but half the bloody world now knows. and alot slips under the radar, alot.

    Just maybe it had older papers, that where suspicious and got lost??
  15. lonely panet
    Unsigned ubu katana with old papers isnt great and that dealer is known for modifying koshirae and fittings to make something more appealing. Because for some silly reason Western collectors wont buy a good sword in shirasaya. But are happy to consider a lower level sword if its mounted

    Well iv demanded a refund and got rebuffed, so next step is to go through paypal and see how that goes. I informed the company that i was going to start action for a refund, and got rudely informed in a condescending tone that maybe i was dim for not understanding that its NOT THERE FAULT.

    Sorry , iv only imported into Japan for restoration via Narita. Easy 1 hour process. This was over 10 years ago tho. But let me know how it goes. I have a tanto currently waiting for export approval. 5 months of hearing this sentence. Not our fault

    The kissaki has the yokote but the boshi looks thin. A trait of the smith or repair??
  21. lonely panet
    Crappy fake. Not even 20 years old. Worthless
  22. lonely panet
    Nice gunto, but i would warn off anyone form buying nihonto from jauce atm. Iv had a sword with them for close to 5 months and still not a sign of export permit. They have no interest in going above to ask why. They just reply its not our fault....
  23. lonely panet
    I think its a completely fruitless idea to compare swordsmiths to painters. Completely different purposes for the use of the end product
  24. lonely panet
    Its good

    I wasn't making a barbed comment john, just wish him success while asking him if hes based in Australia as his prices are in yen. And making a suggestion that competition in narrow markets, historically can lead to competitive pricing.
