Pretty light on the quality military swords, many of the good swords featured in various publications are missing.

Wonder where they are/went.

Most of the better stuff has been sold privately or at shows.  He and his son have been attending shows for the last few years, off loading as much as possible. Though, he has barely put a dent in it, he literally has a warehouse full of stuff.  I know several big buyers/collectors who have gone to Austin for private buys.

I put my bib on a few things, but after the final sales price, plus the 25% buyers premium and shipping, I really didn't find any great deals on swords. I saw quite a few tsuba in lots and singles going really cheap, or not sold at all. I don't know enough about tsuba to take the risk to buy, and resell.

There were a few bidders that took the lionshare of Imperial Japan era items. possibly some few dirks were deals, but other than that, not a lot. 

Personally I picked up the childrens swords lot and the red cross dirk. I am super excited about the childrens day / boys day swords, especially the about the Type 19 which looks almost as detailed as its full sized counterpart, even has a mon!

Is there a way to contact him and try and arrange a pvt buy?

I almost bid on the childrens sword lot, because I liked the small type 19. Something told me not to bid. I think it was my good angel leaving it alone for you to take. Glad the lot is going to a great home! Please post pics once you get them.

I was praying no one else bid on them. God must exist😂. I plan on making a nice post with nice photos with my proper lighting set up when it arrives. I also own a child's toy saber which is discussed a bit in Dawsons? Maybe Plimptons, book. I plan to get nice side by sides with those. The quality difference is amazing. I hope to find more child's day swords of the quality of thhis one.
