Baba Yaga

Thank you Chris This is only my opinion. Papers aren’t a bonus for me as they are a hindrance. I use the same rule as flying a helicopter, 90% of the time I’m looking out the window and 10% looking at the 3 gauges that matter. Papers do little, or nothing for me.

Sorry, I forgot age Koto pre 1596.

Papered? Depends, I don't believe on what's on 80% of papers. The question would be, what has happen to the sword since the papers have been issued? Could be since the 70's? mumei or signed? Depends, many mumei swords are Juyo and many are attributed signed Hozan . I'm not looking for Juyo papers! Length? 26" + not shorten Price? Depends on the sword. shirasaya? Yes Price? Depends on the above. Their is a reason I don't participate on message boards. Oh, USA only please! Thanks Pat Ask one simple question in these studies and you will receive 10 back.
