Stephen Posted June 26, 2018 Report Posted June 26, 2018 Dont think its quite the same quality as Ray linked us too. Or just to dirty? Quote
lonely panet Posted June 26, 2018 Author Report Posted June 26, 2018 was trying to keep them a secret, i will be bidding, will i be paying ??? Quote
lonely panet Posted June 26, 2018 Author Report Posted June 26, 2018 well now that half the town knows, im sure they will go above my budget. 1 Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted June 26, 2018 Report Posted June 26, 2018 Quality looks fine, they should clean up well. Might want to stretch a bit as these are always a solid value. Quote
Stephen Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 You posted a pix, PPl can do image search ya know Quote
vajo Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 Oh, I was bidding too. I think it will run out of my price range now ???? Quote
Nikanoru Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 Who's the hero? I bet it will reemerge soon... 1 Quote
Stephen Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 If a member i hope they show after cleaning. With my eyes i could not see the layers but was told the red mokume is there. Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 Well done, somebody made a very nice buy. Fortune favors the bold! As I said...should clean up well. If it needs attention there is plenty of wiggle room(cost wise) considering the price paid. Quote

lonely panet Posted June 27, 2018 Author Report Posted June 27, 2018 well the lost fish always looks bigger or better. wish the exchange rate didn't affect the Aussie doller so badly. hope the new owner posts then on the NMB Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 Sorry you lost out Hamfish, better luck next time! One great thing about the web is that a new opportunity is always just around the bend. Cheers, p.s.-nice kurikata Frank listed, don't see these very often. 1 Quote
Leporello Posted September 14, 2018 Report Posted September 14, 2018 Hi folks, today I stumbled across this old thread and remembered a guri bori kojiri, which is still lying in my bottom drawer. Is anybody looking for such a very rare part to complete a guri bori koshirae? The patina is not in best condition and it would pretty much benefit from a professional revision, but it is still real guri bori (even if the layer patina is very hard to realize). Best, Tom Quote
