Matsunoki Posted October 28 Report Posted October 28 Hello all. I will be continuing to offer items from my collection at the next Birmingham Arms Fair. As I have said before, I am not a dealer and am selling purely to return to collecting Meiji Artworks. This Arms Fair is my sole outlet but I’m always happy to meet up elsewhere if necessary. Obviously more relevant to UK residents. All will be priced to sell and they include a sumptuously mounted Tachi, finely mounted Tanto, Wakizashi and Aikuchi plus many tsuba, menuki and kozuka etc. Most blades are in good original Japanese polish, some with papers. None have been messed around with! I will add more detailed descriptions in a few days but for now…… All the best. Colin 3 6 2 Quote
Lewis B Posted October 28 Report Posted October 28 I like the look of the last koshirae. What's inside? Quote

Nice late Koto (imo) Mino mumei small Tanto blade in Japanese polish. Beautiful “package” (imo🙂) My preference has always been for unmolested mounted blades rather than shirasaya. You can sometimes get a small hint on the personality/status of the last Japanese owner if things don’t get messed around with in the meantime. Quote
Yumso Posted October 28 Report Posted October 28 Wish I could go to Birmingham Arms Fair one day. They look so great! 1 Quote
Mick taylor Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 If the Tachi is still for sale could you show the blade and the price.Regards. Quote
Matsunoki Posted November 13 Author Report Posted November 13 Sorry Mick but it is reserved. If the deal falls through I’ll message you. Apologies. Colin. Quote
