Every item which is sent into the EU from other countries requires an import fee of at least 19%.

I reduce the asking price to 5100€ plus shipping and fees. Members living in the EU don’t have to pay import taxes.

Thank you Stephen.

Dear Stephen, the previous owner commissioned the current polish. The asking price is completely adequate. In the opinion of a potential buyer each offered item seems to be either a bargain or way overpriced. Anyway I respect your opinion. All the best

Hello Chris, thank you for your message. Honestly I don‘t care about the hysteria of the media. I don’t fear the Russians at all. Our German government is a real threat to our lives, not the popular russophobia we can read everywhere. Kind regards

You are right, Ed. It gets more and more unpredictable, what may be sold quickly and which sword will stay for a long time.

I paid more than 6k€ for this Akihide. My asking price is a steal. When we in Europe buy swords from outside the EU, we have to pay at least 20% taxes for the import. The shingunto koshirae is the best one I ever saw in person. It fits perfectly and was probably custom ordered by the same person, who bought the katana directly from Kurihara Akihide.

Dear John, I think you are unaware that I sold several blades here in the last few years, so I am very trustworthy. Every transaction worked smoothly on my side, so telling the truth about worsening habits here in this timeframe is nothing but a sad observation. If someone feels offended by my words, so he should ask himself why this is the case. Kind regards Stefan

A real passion demands sacrifices. I am sure, if the asking price was just below 3k, it would be sold within minutes. The habits of greed and stinginess pollute this hobby way too much nowadays.

So everyone loves this sword, but nobody wants to buy it ? A very strange mystery, indeed…

As I want to sell this sword fast, I reduce the asking price to 5200€ plus shipping and fees.

I reduce the asking price to 6000€ obo plus shipping and fees. All the best

Thank you, Bruce.
