what a pleasing looking mei and nakago. the sword must be a just as good looking

Japanese Military and Civil Swords and Dirks.... AUD100 sold hahha

had it and sold it, not a very informative book. just more a catalogue of his collection.

hhahahaha you wish, i price my swords so they dont take months to sell, im not greedy i like to share my good faith with the members here by pricing everything at very affordable prices. i was blessed with good eyes, and i let others share in the good luck, like many aussie collectors, Neil, john and others we sell so new collectors have a chance. happy new year

These guys are really knowledgeable in firearms. Especially das lugar. But ridiculously low on knowledge about swords. But hey they stuck there neck out and tried.

Honestly i found it in a book..

did you buy this of jauce??

I may have spoken flippantly. I was under the impression he had passed. I was told Life support with signs of hope a long time ago. sorry if i was incorrect and didn't double check my facts. Rob h would know more

echigo no kami kanesada

looks like a nice type 98 shingunto tsuba, the pierced version is a nice upmarket option . they also have fat/thick versions on the type 94 too

Thanks. But Guido has since passed. Merry xmas to all.

thanks Barry, i will hold off any plans and consault a more experanced elder. but what you discribe is very simluar to my tsuba

Hi guys, as the above mentioned title, i have a tosho tsuba that someone with naughty fingers varnished. is it worth the effort to remove and what are dangers and pitfalls?? regards a very disappointed Hamish

this seller is on jauce, all his swords should be treated with extreme caution. this sword has some clear warning signs. rebound tsuka, incorrect or missing seppa, missing screws with no holes into the saya etc. but no pictures showing anything internal. very selective photos but hey dont listen to me, no one else does

side squabble aside the shinogi is very tall, how the kasanes??

Hi guys. After the fun of the other kantei posts, though I would do one fot tsuba. Also i have no clue either so im asking for help too

wow, love that ubu nakago

Expensive platform to buy swords from. Fees up the wazoo... 9% winners fee a d spraypal 10% transfer fees. Not to mention taxes. Could be 15k right there

this is one of those rare moments, when some one wanted to complian and the forum bounce back and higlighted the posative

thankyou rob, im not the illogical pot stirrer that i appear to come across as sometimes. i speak directly, and to the point. tho my dislexa make sa meal of it some times and my computer has given up trying to spell check me

i have bought a tsuba from him some years back, and i believe i was a victum of shill bidding. but i also went on to sell that tsuba for a profit here, so rest a peace that he sells good items, you just didnt get a bargin. every platform i know of has this practice. bad but necssary for small busness operators to make a living. but its ebay and there are pitfalls to ebay, scams, returns and theift. im sure that after many sales and loses, hes found the middle ground to making money and losing money. look at the dealer and not what the platform forces him to do. if you want contact him off site and buy that way

Well if where all discussing. Personally iv never seen a late war blade mounted in a type 98 gunto koshirae. That might raise eye brows. Also its abit pricey. Once the currency conversion, taxes and postage thats close to 10k Aussie. Some peaple who collect ljm swords don't shop in that price bracket

Can we run these abit long. I want to participate but didn't get a chance Before the gender reveal

Well im buying 2 types. When they arrive i will post them as a detailed warning

What makes you think there repro. Compare to this?? The shape of the belt clip?
