Swords stolen by Donald Myra / Gaijin's Guide

To whom it may concern:

 

After I have been unable to reclaim over a douzen swords for over 2 years from Mr. Donald Myra of Gaijin's Guide (Website has been dsconnected) from Port Alberni, Canda I hereby would like to report these swords officially as stolen.

 

These swords had been sent to Mr. Donald Myra several years ago for polishing. Teh first one was a Yasutsugu Wakizashi snet to him in 2002 from what I can remember. Mr. Myra has been paid in full for polishing all of those after having claimed that they had all been finished / polished (and some mounted in Shirasaya). At one point he said a sword (nice Koto Kanesada Katana with inlaid poem on Nagako) was finished and to be sold by him if not paid for within 14 days. This was back in December 2006 ....

 

However I have been unable to get them, back eversince - despite countless attemps even involving the RCMP (Constable Colin Banks has kindly worked on this case for over a year now without any success). Don has been unable or unwilling to return a single sword to me despite countless (I really mean countless) promises ...

 

I doubt that Mr. Myra has even performed any work on my swords. But he even refuses to return them in whatever condition they may be. (He has been adviced to hand them over to Contable Colin Banks from the local RCMP) Thus I unfortunately have to suspect he may have allready sold them. Despite endless requests, Mr. Myra did never provide me a picture of the blades but for the one I'm attaching. Please note: He did cover the blades in newspaper paper, making it impossible to see if any work has been done on them.

 

I know of atleast 4 more parties dealing with the same problem at the moment.

 

Another NMB member did receive his sword back after an one year long struggle, again involving the RCMP and I may dare to say that his sword was unfortunately in what I would consider a very poor polish ...

 

If you should have been offered any of these swords in the past or seen them for sale anywhere, please kindly let me know.

 

If you are also encountering problems in your dealings with Mr. Donald Myra, I strongly recommend to contact either Constable Banks or Ferguson at the local Port Alberni RCMP.

 

You can reach them by phone at 1 250 724 8945

 

Both officers are familiar with Mr. Donald Myra and the problems surrounding him.

 

Thank you,

 

Max
