Thanks guys. I will send a direct message this evening.

Gotcha..

This is precisely why I am reluctant to send it to Japan. This fear may be unfounded, but I can see a host of problems that could come up. also, is it possible to go back and edit my postings? Seems to be an option on this one, but on older ones it is not an option.

Thank you

I am considering doing that Mark. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. I am entertaining different ideas for research. Might be a trip to a sword show. Might be shipping it to Japan. I just don’t know yet. In the end I would probably be just as happy with an appraisal from a competent professional here in the states.

I’m considering it, yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The blade is not for sale. I am totally ignorant on the subject. At this point, I want to find out what I have and what its potential value could be. In the event I wanted to send it to Japan for evaluation, what is the procedure? And what would be the advantage to doing that?

Yes. That gentleman did examine pictures which were submitted by my attorney some time back. I would now like input from the group.

No papering unfortunately. The inlay material appears gold in person if this matters. It does look silver in the picture.
