Tokubetsu Juyo Chogi @ Christies, spring 2007

[Darcy]

I sold a Tokubetsu Juyo Chogi with beautiful mounts at Christie's in 2007, and I am trying to locate the owner as I have something that goes with the sword to give him. The sword was sold at the London auction.

 

This is the sword:

If anyone knows the current owner and can have him contact me, please do.

I'm not Darcy and I've never used an auction house, but I would be pretty surprised if Christie's entertained a request for the contact information of one of their bidders regardless of who's asking. Seems to me like that would be a privacy and liability concern, as well as a threat to their business model.

 

But as I said I don't actually know anything about the big auction houses. Darcy on the other hand strikes me as a smart enough person to have thought about contacting Christie's directly if that were in any way feasible.

Agree with everything Gabriel said above.

I hope the sword didn't disappear into one of those legendary new Russian or Arabic collections. Hard to track those down.

So do I. And I don't want to know what some of these swords look like some years from now. It is bothering me for some years now, to see old and precious heirlooms in the hands of complete ignorants, who don't know how to spend or invest their money anymore. Let's hope they'll disappear untouched in a safe until the oil and gas-barons have all dripped dry.

And thats why a crisis can be a good thing, if that last thing happens...

 

however..

 

I am afraid that most spending at auctions nowadays is done by the twilight rich.......
