  1. I have for sale a WWII Army Saya for sale : Length 30.5 inches, Width 1.875 inches, Sori .5 inches. For photographs, or if interested Email me your Personal email address. Mine is : 766watson@gmail.com Thanks, ... Ron Watson
  2. Peter, If I'm not mistaken, the powder flasks ( leather ) are Arabic in origin. Certainly not Japanese.
  3. A few months ago, I listed and sold numerous items from my personal collection. I still have one Sword to sell ( Kanbun Period ) Katana. I still have 3 Tanegashima as well as a Japanese Cannon. An unusual Jitte, a Triptyck ( woodblock prints ) by Kunishige II, a few Sagemono ( Tobacco Pouches with Kiseru ), Boys Festival Dolls Meiji era, an Iron Tessen ( war fan ), Matchlock Accessories such as Hayago, Powder Flasks, Bullet Molds. A few of the items can be viewed on ETSY .... seller name ConnoisseurAntiques. I was well known on NMB a number of years ago and those who know me, will vouch for my accurate descriptions and honesty. Please if interested ... CONTACT ME via Email : 766watson@gmail.com Thank you all, ... Ron Watson
  4. Do any of the members know of someone capable of retying a Sword Handle with Silk Wrapping LIVING IN CANADA ?? If so, please provide contact information. Thank you, ... Ron Watson 766watson@gmail.com
  5. NOT TO WORRY : Sunny, PietroParis, I'll soon have Brian END my sales on the 17th of November. I shall then like I did previously on January 29, 2015 disappear from the NMB. No more teaching, no more commenting, no more sales. I need no slack cut, and my word is as good as it always was. My fists are somewhat crippled with arthritis, but I never did nor will ever will back away from a fight. After the 17th of November, ... anyone wishing to buy ( if item still available ) will have to contact me at my email address : 766watson@gmail.com as I will no longer be monitoring the NMB after that date. I promise !
  6. Mr. Farr, ... that is your prerogative. I can see by your profile you are a novice or as I prefer to call them, " a wanna be ". Until you win the Lotto 649. whereupon you will have money to spend on QUALITY and indulge your self in serious study of a worthwhile blade, ... please accept a few words of wisdom from an old timer, .... " BUY BOOKS and STUDY, and then study some more ". On one of your threads you mention eBay. This IS NOT a good place to begin collecting as this venue is well know as the home of fraudsters and / or poor quality items. I wish you good luck.
  7. Peter, How much bloody Vigor or was that VINIGOR can a 74 year old bring to the community ??
  8. Ah, Ken, ... alas I have no daughters and if I did they would be approaching 50 years of age ( once a female is past 20 years of age, ... I consider them " over the hill " ). ... Anonymouse
  9. Dear Old Friend, Stephen, ... UPS is VERY expensive in Canada. Hell EVERYTHING is expensive in Canada. Our Postal System is on the rocks, our Medical System is on the rocks, our Transportation System is on the rocks, our Governments ( Federal, Provincial, and Municipal ) are on the rocks ( and have been for years ), our IMMIGRATION System is on the rocks, our Education System is on the rocks ( although still better than American ), our Currency is on the rocks, our Climate is on the rocks, my Sex Life is ( almost on the rocks ... I am 74, so I have an excuse ). Our Judicial System is on the rocks. One can trace ALL this trouble back to one common denominator ( BUREAUCRATS .. paper pushers who produce nothing, and whose sole purpose in life is to make someone else's life DIFFICULT !
  10. Hugh, Ah, Hugh .... a feeling of calmness will descend upon me, ... WHEN OTHERS TREAT THEIR OBLIGATIONS IN A TIMELY FASHION. What did I say to deter potential " buyers " ?? I give damn good service, my items are honestly described and carefully packed and expeditiously shipped. I, if asked will give a detailed description of how the item was made, acquired and an honest evaluation. I answer ALL emails quickly and politely. If more people were like me, ... then perhaps the world would not be in the mess we find today !
  11. Dear Grev, We all forget things now and then, ... but there is a difference between saying " I'll pay in a few minutes ", and then NOTHING for hours sometimes days ! I am not quite as mean as I used to be unless someone really pisses me off, ... then I turn meaner than a Tom Cat with his balls cut off ! ... Ron
