Antique Swords

[EndureFort]

Hello,

 

I have 2 very old Samurai Swords I'd like to have valued.  Any advice on how to do this (who/where are experts that might be able to help) much appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Well, if you don't mind sharing what state you live in, I am sure someone can chime in with an expert or collector that lives near you! We're all a pretty friendly bunch and love sharing our knowledge.

Hello (name?),

 

To begin the process it should first be determined what it is that you have. By posting clear images of both swords here on this forum the first steps in making an evaluation can begin. From there further advice on just where and how to achieve answers can be given.

 

Please take care in the handling of these swords for your own safety and to not damage the swords.  Please ask first if you have any concerns or questions before proceeding.
