Nihonto dealer Lee Geinman...

Hi,

 

I am wondering if anybody here knows a man named Lee Geinman. He is a Nihonto dealer based out of Florida and his business is called "Nichiren", if I am not mistaken. I have met this man at various Louisville gun shows and he has always been friendly and willing to share his collections with me. He always has a fairly large selection of Nihonto, usually ranging from about $1200 to $8000 in price. I believe he is either Russian or German, I cannot quite tell by the accent.

 

Anyways, I was just wondering about him, as he does not seem to have a website or anything. Anyone have any thoughts/experience with this fellow?

Known him for years thru swords shows only, fig more would answer this or maybe they have not read it yet. He's just like you said a sword dealer with a wide range of prices, personally I like the bloke and enjoy seeing him hit on most of the middle age women that come to the show and he is a charmer in more ways than one. So for what is worth ill call him one of the good guys and he'll tell you what he has into a piece as he kicks the tire er tsuka.

I have known Lee for years, he is a regular at the Tampa sword show and i see him at many other shows. The previous description sounds fair, he is a great guy to talk with.

Stephen, you're right! He was at the Louisville show today and I saw him talking with one of the female security guards for what seemed like hours. I couldn't get his attention for anything! Nice guy, though.

 

Was anybody there this weekend?
