Robert Mormile Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Fellow NMB Members: Sword Return Report - Here is another one. (I wonder what it was...) http://archive.kare11.com/news/article/ ... ears-later Thank you. Robert Quote
kusunokimasahige Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Great story. Lets hope the Japanese son of the former owner is allowed to keep it in Japan. KM Quote
Adrian Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 He climbed a pile of swords, eight feet high, for one with a leather sheath. Probably the pile got higher every time he told the story, but must have been quite impressive even in reality :D Quote
Surfson Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 There's a photo of a pile that high in Yumoto's book I think. Quote
Lance Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 Maybe you're referring to this photo from Fuller & Gregory's (hardcover)book, page 247 ? Depending on the height of the Sergeant in the photo, the highest peak of sword mountain on the right could be in the 6-8 foot range...... If I were there, I think I'd be like the guy in the video below Regards, Lance Quote
Alex A Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 One hell of a clunker he has picked out, then again, could be a short guy... Quote
Lance Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 It is a pretty big sword, compared to the others in the pic below (same book, next page) looks like to be around 36-40 inches? Regards, Lance Quote
