Ok

Hello, How much is the shipping cost for a shipment to France and for a book, "Japanese Swords of the Bizen Tradition"? Thank you.

Personally, next to my room, the two suits of armor and a mannequin don't bother me, nor do the lady, even my big demon sculpture. On the other hand, a theater mask, No, that's creepy for me, especially this style.😱😱

I'm disgusted, I can't go, I would have had 2 blades to have pre-evaluated. For once there is this chance. 😭😭

It's very clean, beautiful work, congratulations. As for the shape, I was told that I needed to use a pendulum balance wheel; it's the same shape and most of them are made of brass.

Sorry Vajo🙏

Hello, how many in France ?

I work on impulse and with the means of my purse. I never bought with the thought of reselling them one day. There are just a few things that have changed since I've been on the forum and read all the posts and some that still fascinate me, I'm trying to reorient my collection. Quality over quantity, I try to have more beautiful blades to have a good basis of study and period which fascinates me the most but it always takes my favorite. Even if I show and some are critical of the blade, for good or bad, as long as I like it, that there is a story, that's the main thing.

The tsuba is very nice. the tsuka too. Think it's older than Showa in my opinion

Eric is magnificent. It’s a real pleasure to see him. As we say at the end of this story: OUF!

I'm happy for you Eric. At least the story has a happy ending. Aside from the damage but at least you have your saber. What a relief for you I imagine. I hope you can show it to us?

I just discovered this post, I would have sent a message to Patrice if I had seen the post at the time. I know Patrice well, he is a good person, I have seen his polishing work which is magnificent. I also bought swords, tsuba from him and am perfectly satisfied with them. This story is unfortunate, but if the certificates start to be falsified it becomes dramatic.

really sublime, you can really be proud of yourself. Say, the little lights on each side that you put are nice!!

Splendid

Congratulations. Sorry for you.

I'm sorry for you. Couldn't you rather re-certify it as Hozon instead of selling it? Being in the USA, you are more likely to have a certificate than us in Europe for example. I'm just asking.

Vive La France. Everything is doable in France. We are capable of doing the impossible as well as the unthinkable. He can have a package that goes all the way around France even though there are only two logistics platforms on the road. It’s lived experience. The postal system in France is incredible but other companies aren't any better either. I'm crossing my fingers for you and hoping to get your lovely gift back. At least when you get it back, you'll have a nice contemporary story to add.

Lexvdjagt the two armors are very pretty I think. Piers, Uwe and shogun 8 had good explanations, I always appreciate their comments personally, it's constructive. Afterwards you have to take into account the state of transport, the impact of it, customs etc... But actually, they are quite affordable. I have two armors, one from the Showa period bought 20 years ago and the second bought just 1 month ago at auction in France but it, Edo period, they both have defects, but as said Uwe both caught my eye, a huge favorite like my nihonto. If I have a doubt, I move on but frankly having armor gave me personal pride, a real child in front of his first electric train. I hope everything goes well for you for one or the other.

I'm sorry for you Eric. The postal service is a big problem in France. If you're not too far from the warehouse, I'd tell you to try to go there.

Very pretty Kochirae, very nice sale too. Nice gift for the new owner.

Thank you, oh yes I greatly appreciate it. This is a very nice Christmas gift 🤩🤩. On the description, there was middle and later Edo period. So frankly it’s a good compromise and frankly I think the whole thing suits it well. Afterwards I won't regret it but in hindsight, I could have seriously bought 2 or 3 during this sale, the prices were unusually LOW, at the price of a saber said to be correct for certain armors.

Alex, thank you very much for the comment, I somewhat agree, the maedate is a little big, see if later. dear Uwe, the Do and the shikoro are well laced in leather, I took photos. mempo also. only the soles are laced in fabric or silk. But same dye.

It is really very beautiful, unfortunately being in Europe, as usual the taxes will weigh down the bill. It's really a shame. Could you give us his sori also please?

Thank you for this review. 🙏🙏 I suspect that it's entirely just pieces taken here and there but it caught my eye as they say and with a really low budget. I took closer photos, I hope you will be more satisfied. It's a little damaged but frankly I've seen worse.

Hello everyone, I hope you had a good Christmas with your families. This is one of my Christmas gifts, bought at an auction. I'm quite satisfied, there are gaps, there are elements that are not from the same period but that's okay, I like it and that's the main thing as they say. Compared to the different Mon on the body or on the Kabuto, could there be a match? as a vassal? Thank you in advance for your comments. Sincerely Dimitri
