T052, T056, T062, T064, T066 are sold. T039 remains in the collection. No sales through the NMB so far. Would be helpful if I could edit the first post as long as sales is up.

T066 is sold therefore no longer available.

Just some appetizer pics as a last try to sell some quality pieces before auction house.

No. T039, a very Fine Akasaka Tsuba is no longer for sale.

Realistic offers welcome. All must go.
