HELP! DOES ANYONE KNOW PETER (in UK)

[Matsunoki]

At the Birmingham Arms Fair yesterday a nice chap called Peter brought an Itomaki no Tachi to show me. He departed but later returned looking for a fitting that he had lost. We searched but couldn’t find it.

Well as I was leaving the Fair I found it under a neighbouring stand and have it safely secured.

If anyone knows who this Peter is (could have been Peter Rock but my hearing ain’t good in background noise) please get him in touch with me and I’ll send it to him. 
I’m sure he is very upset….needlessly.

Thanks

Colin

Try calling the Token Society, maybe they know of a collector with a similar name? Could it be Peter Cook?

 

[Matsunoki]

Pretty sure it’s Peter Rock. He said his first and second name meant the same thing and Peter does indeed mean Rock. Wish my hearing was a bit sharper and also my memory. I feel so sorry for how he must feel. Met so many people in such a short time…….

Someone will know him.

Peter Rock/Stone…(?)

Quite a few pop up in a google search. Maybe looking at the images of "Peter Rock" you can identify him.

Contacted Token….not a member. 
Not Stone……I heard something like Rock or Roche. 
I’ll keep searching

Did he have an accent?

Not that I could identify in the hubbub. Just a nice gentle gentleman who spoke quietly.

Leave it with me Colin, 

 

I will get his contact details from a dealer he deals with.

Bit late Colin, sounds like its resolved but for interest..... many moons ago I worked with a postal chap by the name of Peter Crook and he was a Pom (£10 'der). Tall, lanky with hair as white as the driven snow. 

 

Just a random memory 🙂

Awesome! So glad to see this play out and that it seems there will be a great outcome. Keep us updated Colin, and thanks Mark!

[Matsunoki]

If he checks his emails this morning he’ll be a much happier chap. 

[Matsunoki]

We are in touch. He is indeed a very very happy chap. It’ll be with him this week.

…and he is going to join the Forum!

Hi I'm the Peter that Colin was looking for.

 

Yesterday I received the best email ever when he contacted me to say that he had found my missing part (it's the metal trim to the koi guchi which doubtless has its own name).

I just want to put on record my appreciation of the time and trouble that Colin has gone to on my behalf and a thank you to the members of the forum, particularly Mark C, in helping him find me.

Welcome Peter, you’ll love it here.

Keep an eye out for the postman tomorrow 🙂

…..my pleasure to help you.

That was a nice thread to read though. 👍

[Mark C]

You are more than welcome Peter, Just glad it was found and it all worked out.

 

See you at the next Brum show unless you go to Bedford?

 

All the best

[Matsunoki]

Safely re-united today🙂

I cannot answer for others Peter, but I for one would love to see a picture of the sword if possible please.  I love all Japanese swords and daggers, and it is the subject of this thread I know, but there is just something special about an itomaki-no-tachi koshirae.
