    i have had swords delivered by DHL (international) and i always get a tax bill. I pay it. Not so happy but that is the way it is. Doesn't matter how the sender describes the contents.... If i get a sword delivered through USPS i get no tax bill.

    that is hard to judge........... it is in shirasaya and gimei so that limits value. I would estimate you could SELL it to a knowledgeable collection fo $500-800, if you are thinking replacement cost you will never find an identical one but should be able to buy something similar for $700-1000 just my opinion, keep in mind i attend a lot of shows so see a lot of swords offered, if you have to rely on online sales you may have to pay higher mark

    Sam the show rate is 199 so 2 nights even with tax should be in your price range here is a link https://book.passkey...492/owner/12506/home I run the Chicago show and the one thing that helps support the show (and keep it going) is to stay at the hotel and reserve in the show room block hope that helps mark

    I live near Toledo. I am usually at the Novi Antique Arms show and also Livonia and Perrsyburg shows (unless they conflict with a sword show). Stop by may table and say hello, maybe we have met? Maybe we could plan a small "get together- show and tell" etc at one of the shows? mark

    Mark, his family, and team did a great job with the show............. If anyone has thoughts about the shinsa that should be a separate thread as Mark doesn't have any control over the shinsa other than arranging for the space etc. I think Orlando is growing and hopefully will continue to prosper see you next year mark

    Mark replied to Pat5353's topic in Tosogu

    there are plenty of known, reputable dealers here on NMB. I see tsuba listed quite often. Grey Doffin has some nice tsuba and he is easy to deal with (caveat i partner with him) check his site https://www.Japanese...tegory/tsuba-kodogu/ mark

But i have limited space so will not bring everything. If i know someone needs something like gunto handles, gunto parts, books, parts etc let me know and i will pack them see you soon Mark Jones

    thanks to everyone for the information!!! at least i don't feel too bad not being able to figure it out, seems like you just have to "know what it is" or recognize it, i will try to remember thanks again mark
