Miyaguchi Yasuhiro saku (宮口靖廣作)

[Fung]

Hello everyone

 

It's time for me to move on a sword which had been acquired from a previous member in this forum back to 2018.

 

I possessed it for around 5 years and I enjoyed a lot this sword.  The tassels and custom type 3 mounts are periodic and is very desirable.

 

I am asking US$8000 + shipment & fees. The sword is currently in Hong Kong. 

 

The sword was previous listed with the below dealer and you can check out the details below. There is a little surface of minor rust on the tip but I believe a polishing can fix the issue very well.

 

Since it is my first time to list a sword here, I am sorry if info is not clear and PM are welcome!  You may check the photos in the link below.
