chameloon Posted May 6, 2021 Report Posted May 6, 2021 Hello, I'm overwhelmed by the offers on Ebay, not being knowledgeable enough to detect flaws and quality of the blade in all the listings I see. Hence I post here, hoping to find a blade from a reliable seller (Europe, anyone?) at a fair price. I am after a Katana from the Kamakura/Early Muromachi. Mei or Mumei, as long as it comes with NBTHK papers, no Kizu and a sane appearance/polish. Thanks for your help Quote
DTM72 Posted May 6, 2021 Report Posted May 6, 2021 I have had great dealings with Grey and Mark. Might I suggest this offering from them: https://www.japaneseswordbooksandtsuba.com/store/swords/s125-mumei-tachi-tokubetsu-hozon-tegai-kanekiyo 1 1 Quote

ChrisW Posted May 6, 2021 Report Posted May 6, 2021 That'll be difficult to accomplish for that price range. Quote
Mark Posted May 7, 2021 Report Posted May 7, 2021 Grey has a nice one, saw it this past weekend https://www.japaneseswordbooksandtsuba.com/store/swords/s125-mumei-tachi-tokubetsu-hozon-tegai-kanekiyo Quote

Chameloon, that is now two people pointing you towards the same sword. This could be the one for you! Quote
Jamie Posted May 12, 2021 Report Posted May 12, 2021 That’s a good price on a tokubetsu hozon from that era. For sure. Quote

Hoshi Posted May 12, 2021 Report Posted May 12, 2021 Do not go on auctions when you're a beginner. You'll get burned. Go with some of the excellent and trusted suggestions above, we have good consigners and dealers in the Community. As always money is best first spent on learning and then buying (but we all kinda go the other way around about it...) 2 Quote
