schmoozer Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 I have a new acquaintence who has a group of swords for sale. They are supposedly from WWII? I did some checking on the website http://www.jssus.org/nkp/ which gives great examples of real and "not-real" pieces. Thinking these are wall hangers but not knowing for sure, thorught I would post the photos I have up here and get some professional opinions. Thanks in advance. Brad Quote

schmoozer Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Posted February 27, 2011 That was easy.... Thanks very much. Quote
drbvac Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 All of them are not worth - well maybe 10 bucks for fun but - was the "new acquaintance" trying to sell them to you? How did he manage to get a dozen of them - hopefully someone gave them to him after they fell off a truck or something - amazing how these things get bought and sold. Quote
schmoozer Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Posted February 27, 2011 The last response was not really called for. The person I am dealing with is credible and ethical, he only knows what was told to him. (They came from his grandmothers house.) To assume otherwise only makes you look bad. I shared this website with him to let him know what was said by the first responder. Quote
drbvac Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 I was only making a point that it is amazing how many thousands of them are around and hoping 1. that he did not pay for them or if so not very much and 2. hoping that someone was not attempting to sell them to you, As the title of your post is RE: Potential purchase If you took offence I apologise but people have got to lighten up on this board or not bother asking questions. These are comments from people all over the world and you can take them for what they are worth or not - but in spite of some really terrible things being said to me on many boards the last thing I would ever bother doing is a "come back". To respond to typed comments with no nuances in voice or inflection or facial expression is a sure way to be over reactive and to mis-interpret something. Sorry again - my comments were more addressed to the "WW 2 Japanese blades" than to either you or your "new aquaintance". Quote
