Chris Wise Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 http://shop.ragoarts.com/estates?l=83700 Here is another little tidbit coming up for auction. Thanks again, Chris Wise Quote
ROKUJURO Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Chris, photo upside down, no details shown, and complete lack of competent information.... Online bidders might find this a little scarce. Quote
Gabriel L Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 Chris, photo upside down, no details shown, and complete lack of competent information.... Online bidders might find this a little scarce. I agree, although after squinting way too hard at the tiny NBTHK Hozon paper image I can say it reads "mumei (Sakakura Seki)." 坂倉関 See here for more. Still nowhere near enough to bid by, would have to see both sides, nakago, details, ideally description of activity not evident from photos, etc. Quote
Chris Wise Posted September 14, 2013 Author Report Posted September 14, 2013 Here are some more pics for all you guys. Quote
Gabriel L Posted September 16, 2013 Report Posted September 16, 2013 Better. Not ideal, but better. I don't want you to do extra work on my account though, I am not in the market at the moment. I was just giving my reaction in my previous post, not putting in a request. Still, you are more likely to get serious bids this way, so I guess it's to your benefit regardless. Quote
Chris Wise Posted September 19, 2013 Author Report Posted September 19, 2013 No worries, as you said it had to be done anyway. Thanks for looking!! Chris Quote
1tallsword Posted September 22, 2013 Report Posted September 22, 2013 at the length it is I would have to say its a wakizashi, being over 1 shaku in all... might I add a very good school and tokubetsu hozon makes it interesting. the tsuba I like and is of good quality. Quote
Marius Posted September 23, 2013 Report Posted September 23, 2013 This sword has a Hozon paper, NOT Tokubetsu Hozon. With the latter, the price would be much higher. Quote
DGARBUTT Posted September 23, 2013 Report Posted September 23, 2013 According to the realized price list at the auction site this tanto sold for over $21,000.00. Was anyone on the board at the auction who might shed some light on why? Quote
Stephen Posted September 23, 2013 Report Posted September 23, 2013 DGarr wrote Was anyone on the board at the auction who might shed some light on why? also seen crazy prices on Rock Island auctons for (hidden treasures) tachi ....lol. PT was right. Quote
1tallsword Posted September 23, 2013 Report Posted September 23, 2013 sorry i was also typing on another... got the two mixed up, yes i stand corrected its hozon, but by the info provided and several known tokubetsu hozon blades known by Sakakura seki im sure there is room for improvement. as to the price?? someone else will have to tune in .. cheers, Jeremy Quote
