Samurai swords

[mike petti]

Hello I have a collection of samurai swords and tsubas from Troy Baxley of Tampa FL.  Like to see if anyone is interested.  He was the President of the Florida Token Kai for many years.

Hi Mike, 

I think you've come to the right place, as there are several Nihonto enthusiasts in the southeast USA

I'd reach out to @Ray Singer or Moses Becerra @ https://nihontoantiques.com/about/

I hope they don't mind the recommendation,
Best of luck,
Cheers,
-Sam

Ray would be your guy that side. He'll be able to assist you with ID and values.

Thank you all I reached out to Ray.

Hi Mike, I previously visited Troy's home to assess the collection, provide translations and did consign a portion of the swords at an earlier point in time. I will reply to your message.

 

Best regards,

Ray

I really enjoyed the Florida Token Kai group. I was a member for years even though I live in Canada. They ran a great sword show in Tampa in February. I enjoyed their publications too. The last time that I saw Troy he was in a wheelchair and attending the show. I miss that group and their show too.
