Swords

Good info Colin still best to Have it pass shinsa or paypers especially when you’re looking to spend alot of cash on a well known smith

So the dealer was kind enough to refund me but pp kept me fee’s Now any thing pricey by a known smith has to have papers or passed shinsa I read the description over again and it did say signed and made by the smith ! not that in matters now I have been looking for quite some time before I got side tracked with that sword! A WW2 Japanese Navy Gendaito Or older Has to be I good condition No nicks or any other issues price 3000-4000 I have tried the auction but no luck I do appreciate everyone’s help to take time with my sword As they say shame on me twice my damm fault ! Any way have a happy New Year! Maybe gold coins?? I would probably buy a fake one Steve

I can see see why shinsa is so important I do appreciate everyone’s feed back So I will leave it at that!

I don’t have the sword I sent money via PP this morning and asked about papers or refund and has been Mia I think the morale of the story is get papers for any well known smith for high ticketed swords

Got It So I would asked him if it failed shinsa provided he knows? Or to be certain have it sent out which would take time which I only have 3 days turned around time for a refund

Oh that’s amazing how you did a side by side of the mei comparison Do you think they are alike

How do I know if it fails shinsa

That’s not good How do you know this? How can anyone guarantee it passes shinsa without papers?

Probably

I afraid if send it if it’s not legit I think I will go back collecting Nazi helmets much easier But hey I appreciate everyone’s feedback

Yes I did buy it Brian where in Florida do I send it?

I trust the dealer I researched the signature on John Slough I do have a return policy so hopefully it’s all good I might get papers down the road For now can’t do anymore

Yes I know I found him in John slough

John Slough looks good but the pictures are difficult to see clearly 5.5 million yen that’s crazy

Yea I know I’m kinda winging this one I wouldn’t ask for help but It’s a lot of money and afraid I might make another mistake Although he’s a dealer friend of mine and should be ok but it doesn’t hurt to get opinions from people who know a hell of alot more than me I plan on reading more books now I bought the craft of the Japanese sword And John Slough book but it has to be in His book I’m gonna check it now thanks Steve

I don’t have alot of time for research Never mind forget about it I’m solo on this this one Sorry I asked

Here pictures of the blade Just opinions please

Hi everyone I wanted to know what value this Sword is I saw another post where it was questioned Thanks for your help steve

Until you walk in someone else’s shoes you need to zip it! you don’t know what is going on in my life! or anyone else’s social media is full of bullying ! You hide behind your key board and am sure you would never say this stuff to someone’s face ! I hope this new year is better place for what’s happening in the world today Im a disabled veteran and suffer from my own grief and don’t to hear more from anyone else ! You don’t have anything good to hear or contribute as Brian pointed out than keep your mouth shut

I agree with Brian This is why you I’m not going to post any more swords. Or ask any questions! You want to know what books I read . How about giving me some authors that would be helpful rather than more criticism I moved from Del Web in Texas because there is as so much immature babbling from older people Now I feel like I never left

I think I’m done posting any more swords on this forum thanks for your help

My main concern is the mei correct

It was difficult to see clearly with the pitting

I will When I get time thanks steve

Great explanation Stephen I don’t know why someone can use criticism towards another. Unless it makes that person feel superior To all Have a great Christmas and New Year Steve
