cisco-san Posted February 17, 2014 Report Posted February 17, 2014 Hello, currently there is an interesting blade on eBay with a Generals tassel: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171243262611?ru ... 26_rdc%3D1 Any comments would be very apprectiated. As this is a running auction and as I have no intention to buy this blade, of course I can wait until the auction is over. Many thanks Klaus edit: typo Quote
Stephen Posted February 17, 2014 Report Posted February 17, 2014 Is the Sa n gold or just painted on? looks older bizen blade, but remember it is being bought out of hand. Quote
slashxu Posted February 22, 2014 Report Posted February 22, 2014 Interesting to see how well the auction will do. That word "Sa" sure gets a lot of people jumping, doesn't it? James Quote
Marius Posted February 22, 2014 Report Posted February 22, 2014 I think that to some extent this may have been rather gunto collectors who have driven the price up. General's tassel, ancestral blade etc. Have you seen the "q&a about this item"? One of them refers to potential value, a crude attempt to drive the price up. The story about the father who has hidden his treasure beneath the floor boards... Not exactly credible. I have the feeling that there is some shill bidding going on here. Ah, eBay... Sa? BTW, the "kinpun mei" is painted with goldpaint and crude. Quote
Austo1 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Posted February 22, 2014 The Generals Tassel was also an obvious reproduction, this can be confirmed by the loose weave of the crowns that sit above the tassels. Regards Doug Quote
cisco-san Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Posted February 24, 2014 Hello, many thanks for your comments. The reached price is quite high - 6.988,- USD Quote
