Chris,

 

photo upside down, no details shown, and complete lack of competent information.... :crazy:

 

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.

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.

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. :)

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?
