Hi all,

 

I am new to this site. I have been warned by some dealers that I am taking a chance of getting ripped off by buying on ebay. So far, I have bought 3 swords on ebay and the transactions were flawless.

There is a collector/seller on ebay with the moniker "reikoto" who deals out of Germany and he recently sold a general's tassel, item #

1 8 0 1 6 5 3 8 8 2 8 2 "Japanese Army Sword General Tassel." If you read my question to him at the bottom, he replies that his name is Reinhold-Koziel and he drops quite a few impressive names which I am somewhat famillar with. However, when I contacted one of them, he refused to comment which I found odd. You know the saying, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. I've dealt with several fine dealers and if asked, I will always give them the thumbs up.

Have any of you had positive dealings with Mr. Koziel? He has 105 transactions and 100% approval rate.

Thank you very much.

Thanks fellows for the reply, but I just wanted to know if anyone has had any dealings with this guy. Pricey tassel? Of course. But they are quite rare and there are repros out there. I guess it's like anything else...what is it worth? Whatever amount someone offers!

Haven't dealt with him before, and looks like no-one here has either.

The tassel sounds correct, but maybe ask if he gives a money back guarantee on originality? These tassels have indeed been going for high prices. Occasionally someone picks up a sword with one fitted for a bargain.

 

Good luck with it, and don't forget to sign your posts with a first name at least. Thanks.

Rainer is a friend of one of my collegues. He owns several really impressive swords and the tassel was exactly as described. One of the very few original general tassels that are left.

 

Man I wish I had some mone to buy one of his yasukuni swords..... :(
