Hi Denis OK Thank you, I will Regards John.

Hello KM, Thank you for your interest. If I am going to split this lot up I would be wanting £2100.00 for the for the blade with the biggest curve. With Regards John.

Hi Denis, Thank you for your suggestions. I think you are probably right. Also anyone living in the UK who were seriously interested would be welcome to view and perhaps I could meet them half way. Also it would save on postage. With Regards John.

Hello Alan, Thank you for your observations. I live in England and since the government & eBay have made it impossible to trade in this subject I have lost all interest in my hobby. Of course I am serious about selling. The two long blades are worth around £3000.00 and the rest of the bits & pieces, including the two small blades I thought would have small value in comparison. But if more info is required such as sizes or photo's of anything I am quite happy to provide them. With Regards John.

John

I was under the impression you could only put 6 photographs on but now I realise differently so I am going to download some more pictures I hope they will help. Thanks again With Regards John.

FOR SALE The two longer blades re in very good condition one is signed and I originally purchased these from Sidney, Australian Legion Club along with some of the other bits and pieces some time ago now. The two short blades....one is fairly pitted, and the other is in a reasonable condition. If you require any more photo's please just let me know. This collection includes everything you see in the photographs. Price:- £3200.00 With Regards John

Hi Guys, You will never believe this but I bid $450.00 on this item in the last few seconds only to find Ebay has finely set up a full BAR to all U.K. bidders so my bid was automaticely Stopped (prohibited) I was really gutted pig sick it would have been mine. So beware U.K. bidders you can no longer bid for swords under certain title headings on Ebay or item location. Regards FEELING GUTTED John

Hi folks I have this gold and silver MENUKI in very good condition I am sure because of where I found it must be very old I know nothing about it can anyone help please. I was luck enough to find it under some dirt and leather on a old handle. I have tried to find the pattern but no luck so far kind regards John

Yes I agree totally with the point Brian badly to make badly badly written sentence can often be taken out of context. Something we sometimes do for sure :lol: kind regards John

Hello Everybody I think Reinhard and John have made some good points. But I think any debate is generally a good thing. Some people tend to get their knickers in a twist or upset unnecessarily. You cannot teach someone who is stupid specially when they do not want to learn or listen to bad for them. I would just like to say thank you to all the experts and knowledgeable people for making this site interesting. But I think that a little confrontational debate creates some interest . And it's always easy to recognize stupidity. Not to sound too serious I hope Best regards John

Hi KM I donot understand Regards John.

Hi Koichi Moriyama Thank you for the info Regards John.

Hi Koichi Moriyama , Yes thank you I did read the threads but reading further threads led me to believe that that was not necessarily correct. But thank you for the translation I appreciate it I did not mean any disrespect for having doubted it. Is a signature when it is not on the nakago no longer called a mei ?? Best regards John.

Sorry Henk-Jan I wish someone could translation the quote of some kind Best Regards John.
