  2. Hi Veli))) thanks i'm also looking forward to getting my hands on it)) btw, where are you based in Finland if you dont mind me asking? i tend to travel to your wonderful country from time to time so maybe we could meet up one day?)))
  3. Hi all, thank you thank you thank you i wish someone had commented on the blade itself but since the origami seems to be real i'm happy :D and, yes, Surfson, obviously, it was used to serve the table -- this round oily spot on it looks weird...
  4. all right now, here we go
  5. my guy says its got watermarks and you're right there's a circle on the photo which makes me think it is one))))
  6. yeah, Veli, you're right -- might be an older version of the paper... not too sure about the watermarks though - asked my guy to check. problem is he's not a Nihonto guy)) and i can only guess by his iphone photos. i like the blade)) but its expensive and i haven't got much time...
  7. Hi Veli, nice one! thank you. yeah, this is exactly what i mean as there's no punched dots on this one((
  8. Usually its the owners details that have been removed. Thank you much appreciated. is this nbthk tokubetsu hozon? cant see the perforated number in the upper left corner...
  9. Dear all, my "agent" is currently in USA and has just forwarded me some pics. personally, i like the blade but i have doubts if it can really be attributed to Tsunahiro. also, the certificate has a column with sort of crossed out text - never seen anything like that before. any help/comments would be appreciated greatly! problem is i've only got abt 12 hrs to make up my mind before my guys leaves(( thats why i'm calling out for the mighty Lords of NMB))) thank you Vlad

    Origami

    so can anybody please comment on the origami? having limited experience i've never come across something like that - is it normal to have the signature of the owner (??) on papers in the US? and what is the origin of this origami please? thank you

Hi all i have no access to my books at the moment my "agent")) is in USA now and he's just emailed me the pics. the asking price is on the higher end $16K and also the paper does not look familiar although the translation says NBTHK -- or maybe i'm just being blind and its well after midnight over here - the blade is in shirasaya. any comments please? thanks in advance vlad
