pcfarrar Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 Stephan, Nice looking sword. It doesn't appear to be a thin hoso-suguha hamon like you state. if anything it appears to be quite a wide gunome midare Peter
stephan_hiller Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Posted January 23, 2014 Peter, Thanks for pointing this out and for reading it more carefully than I did :-) It was a copy&paste failure but I have it corrected now. Thanks again, Stephan
stephan_hiller Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Posted July 4, 2014 The blade is still availabe and as I have to make space for a new investment I am lowering the price to 950 € + shipping. This is already well below what I paid some years ago. I also added some new photos. Stephan
stephan_hiller Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Posted July 4, 2014 ...and some more. Will donate to the NMB if it goes to a member.
