Must have Bo-hi 5. Not tired. 6. Age, not so important. 7. Must be Nihonto 8. Chu Kissagi 9. Koshirae not so important. please P.M. me or post. Will negotiate price on request. Thanking you all in advance. Regards Gwyn Quote
Geraint Posted October 8, 2014 Report Posted October 8, 2014 Dear Gwyn. I can't be the one to make it happen but may your dreams come true and a very happy future birthday! All the best. Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 Gwyn, you're not planning to use this blade in MJER, are you? Ken Quote
Moley Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Posted October 9, 2014 Gwyn, you're not planning to use this blade in MJER, are you? Ken Hi Ken, Thanks for the concern. No I don't intend to practice with it as I already have an Iaito. Anyway every course I attend say "No Shinken" Gwyn Quote

peter Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 hi Gwyn Have you tried Bill Tagg, Liverpool militaria ? Happy 21st Peter Quote
Moley Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Posted October 24, 2014 Hi Peter, I dealt with Bill for years. Visited his shop. Spent hours drinking tea and chatting. My brother fortunately bought not one but TWO really lovely Koa Isshin from him. Unfortunately, Bill has now retired and the shop closed. His business is sort of continued on line by his son. Quote
IanB Posted October 24, 2014 Report Posted October 24, 2014 Gwyn, Although Bill has closed his shop, he still attends the major arms fairs. He should be in Birmingham for the next fair there. Ian Bottomley Quote
peter Posted October 24, 2014 Report Posted October 24, 2014 I'm sure he will be there on the 15th. Although he is online now not all he shows is all he has. Give him a call. See you there Ian. Peter Quote

See you there Ian. Peter LOL - So what's new ? I would sit in his shop, drink tea, chat. He'd ask what I was after, then all of a sudden he'd rush off upstairs and come down with some beauties that were not on show. Great fun. Quote
