Could you please provide pictures of the nakago (both sides), a full picture of the bare blade and measurements (nagasa, sori, motohaba, etc).

 

Those pieces of information will help selling your sword.

My skills at taking pictures are zero.Can anyone suggest something?

Yes. Take pictures the same way you see them here on NMB: Tip up, nicely focused. That will help you a lot.

4 Simple tips for taking a better picture.

 

1) Don't hold the object as the shot won't be steady

2) Use a bright clean white light (a close lamp) or back light of strong natural light

3) Use a single contrasting color as a background (black works well)

4) Try many angles and many shots, post the best.

 

Enjoy

Idea: for the sales forum, there could be a mandatory fill-in field for sale or buying price that must be filled in before a thread can be posted?

Yes, but we do at least require a trade value. In other words, trades to the rough value of $x....
But Mich last visited the 26th Feb, so not sure how serious he is anyways.

Hey Mick, I would likely be interested in trading (I have a Shinto period blade mounted in shin gunto koshirae) or buying this sword. If you could post additional photos that would be great. You could place the sword on a sword stand or a silk/cotton covered carpet, point a lamp in its direction and then use a camera focused near the illuminated part; it should work for taking okay photos.

Thanks,
