reeder Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 Here are some pictures of my buddy's sword. I'll be working on the translation this afternoon after my treatment. (Got "shu" for 2nd character and "kane" for 2nd to last character off top of my head). -Brandon Quote

reeder Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Posted February 1, 2013 Thank you, Mr. Bowen. Yes, it's a shame (I know better myself and wish I knew about it before he cleaned it). He said he was offered $4000 for it recently from a dealer and asked my opinion. I'm relatively new at swords so I thought I'd share with you guys. IMO, for what it's worth, is that $4k seems much more than I would expect this to go for given its condition. Like I said, I'm new so if I sound clueless, I am -Brandon Quote
NihontoEurope Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 Hello, I have a Kanda Kanetsune myself. An uncleaned tang with a nice blade along with paper. If the buyer does not want yours. Please refer him to me. You will get a percentage :-) /Martin Quote
John A Stuart Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 He should have taken the money. He was a so so smith and given the condition of this sword to be restored will never recoup that amount of money. John Quote
reeder Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Posted February 1, 2013 Yes, that's what I told him. It's a shame its in pretty bad shape. -Brandon Quote
