FS: Naginata Naoshi

[md02geist]

Hello all, for your appreciation and possible purchase is a Naoshi. I have very much enjoyed studying it, and it is time to move it on to someone who would also enjoy it.

 

It has been discussed quite a bit here, where pictures are also available.

The asking price is 1000 USD or best offer paid via paypal or venmo, with price to include shipping and insurance in the CONUS. It can be shipped internationally for an extra fee.

 

Please PM me with any interest. Thank you and have a great day NMB!

Hey Rob. Can I ask what is the length and motohaba 

 

Thanks 

[md02geist]

Hey Paz! Answered your PM, I'll send you (and anyone else who would like them) measurement photos. 

[md02geist]

Email sent with requested photos. Thank you NMB!

[md02geist]

A donation will be made from the proceeds towards NMB. Thank you!

I'm going to price drop this one to 850 shipped. Thank you NMB.

[md02geist]

Hello NMB

 

I'd like to price drop this to 750.

 

Thank you!

 

[md02geist]

Hey my friends,

 

I would like to do one final price drop on this to 700 USD. This price includes shipping and insurance in the continental US.

 

Thank you NMB!

How much is shipping to germany?

Just considering its a real Japanese blade and in this case likely centuries old. A nice blade that would be a very good item to get someone into Nihonto. At thousand it was a good deal (I would think). Now 70% with free shipping for those in the US.. What more do people want?

 

Spoiler

Maybe those threads about postal service mishaps/misdeeds are influencing people?

Thank you. I, too, feel this is a good deal. This is getting into "rusted, can't find hamon, in fake WW2 koshirae on ebay" blade prices while being much nicer than those.

[Fuuten]

Definitely. To get someone interested in Nihonto, further than just viewing a photo thinking on the (arguably bad), things that it can be used for and then considering just the total picture (ah sure looks pretty good), is difficult!

 

Then considering monetary value, reading about the importance of papers these days, opposite to more down to earth stories about what it comes down to: it's the sword not the papers. This sword I'd guess holds the consensus of being a Japanese sword on the board (not shinsa but for what it's worth pretty straight on and able of judging real or fake), regardless of sayagaki which might or might not be valid. 

 

Long story short.. . If someone has a potential victim in mind and can assure said person (1. Good deal), 2 in this case papers would be arbitrary if one would otherwise demand atleast Hozon (which would be interesting for the attribution not so much for the real or not. Sorry 💬💥 😃

[md02geist]

Thank you all for the kind compliments and discussion on this blade.

 

It is now sold to another NMB member with payment having been received this afternoon. Once the money has transferred over to my account successfully and the blade has shipped out, I will be making a donation to NMB as promised.

 

Thank you NMB family!
