Introduction and some general terms.

[Mark]

I have been a member of the Japanese Sword Society of the United States (http://www.jssus.org) for over 30 years, a member of the NBTHK -American Branch, and I run the Chicago Sword Show (http://www.chicagoswordshow.com). I sell on eBay, my i.d. is mark!!1 please check my feedback. I partner with Grey Doffin and many of the items on his website are ours (https://www.japaneseswordbooksandtsuba.com).

 

I live in Maumee (near Toledo) Ohio U.S.A. I can accept Paypal, check, or bank transfer (for larger purchases). Prices are in USD (US$).  I prefer to use USPS but will send as a buyer requests. Buyer pays actual shipping cost. I will only ship a package with tracking. For international customers: I can not insure a package for more than the declared value (and insurance can be limited by carrier). I try to respond to inquires within 24 hours, but different time zones can impact response time. You can message me here or email me at nixe@bright.net (preferred) or chicagoswordshow@gmail.com

 

There is a 3 day inspection period for any items purchased. A refund will be given if i am notified, in 3 days, and  the item is returned, and received,  in the same condition.

Mark Jones and family run my favourite sword show. I have over the years purchased many things from Mark - tsuba, fittings, swords etc. 

Mark is a Director of the JSSUS and its treasurer. Mark and Grey make a great team. They are honest, hard working folks who always bring new material for the collector to see, enjoy and buy. I count Mark among my friends. Mark and Grey both stepped up to support Nihontomessageboard.

I just received my tsuba from Mark yesterday. I am very pleased with it. He responded back to my inquiry fast,  packaged it well and shipped it faster than he said he was going to. Great to deal with! Thanks Mark.

Just recently had a great experience buying a blade from Mark. It was exactly as described and Mark was a pleasure to work with. 
 

And Grey is a gem too!

Excellent service and communication. He took a risk sending a sword to me and after all kinds off shipping problems I finally got it.

 

Would definitely buy from him again.
