Walter Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 Surely I will keep an eye at this book auction! I'm not big fan of Gunto but few nice pieces + good book won't hurt. BTW - Any decent Kai-Gunto for sale around? Quote

The Gassan Swordmaking Studio in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston" from the books intro. see pix of some of the content. The F/G does list some Gendai smiths , i may start the two other books today.

Bungo Posted March 15, 2008 Report Posted March 15, 2008 Oyabun, experience taught me auction will not bring any " action " till the last 5 minutes ( those pesky snipers ). More watchers than actual bidders. An alternative way is to do the buy it now with make offers feature ( set auto reject for nonsensical offer). You gave up the " no limit up side " but you won't take a " bath " either ( like my fisherman with ko-gatana kozuka ). With usd ( quoting Reagan, " there he goes again...." ) approaching American peso status, I am surprise there aren't any more European buyers. milt Quote
