rantoulpawn Posted March 18, 2019 Report Posted March 18, 2019 The pictures I will post are nearly as sharp as in person, appears wire brushed, glazed. Thank you for any time and comment. Pat Smith Yoshiaki? Quote
Gakusee Posted March 18, 2019 Report Posted March 18, 2019 I cannot see this well and it is also upside down. Something like Naganori perhaps Quote
