Emptying Out The Pantry, Part 1

[Nickupero]

Hi Gents, this is a sequel to my "emptying out the closet" listing a while back, a lot of people picked up some nice pieces for very reasonable prices. This is the first part, if you like what you see shoot me an email.

 

A Daisho set with all old fittings including the Saya's which the urushi holds up well. The ships found on the Tsuba's protrude a lot, more than the pictures make it seem. Fuchi/kashira all shakudo. The set originally had no seppa's, I added some just for protection but would suggest getting matching seppa's. Price is $1,700 US plus shipping. Both come with very old matching sword bags.

 

The other item is a Menuki set that is quite unique, I say this because I've never seen this motif before. I love them but I'm sure they will get more appreciation from one of you. `They are weasels/ferrets, fine predators, excellently made and with some nice fine detail, take the ears for example. They are so small, needed my marco lens. Comes with a custom box. I highly recommend this set. Priced at $565 US plus shipping, non-negotiable.

Nick,

 

Can you clarify the colour of the tsukas - they appear to be brownish on my computer.

I'll say greenish on mine

Awesome deal.

leaning to the dark brown camp on color

[Nickupero]

Hi guys, Jean is correct, dark green it is, has a slight fade to it from the aging which is what may be throwing some people off. Or could be my lighting but the color is 100% green, shark skin has a nice aged patina to it. Tsunagi's are of good quality with equally nice wood habaki, please see photo's. I think its a great deal considering all the goodies you get

Dai measures a total of 96.5cm with a saya length of 72.5cm

Sho measures 69.5 cm with a saya length of 54.5 cm

 

Also the Menuki set is no longer available for sale.

This set is off to a good home. So both the Daisho Koshirae and Menuki's are now sold.

If moderators could keep this post for a day or two in case the buyers want to take record of the post.

 

Thank you to all who participated with questions and comments.

The koshirae were a great deal. But those menuki......!
