Tsuba 3: Mito Shoami Tsuba 7.1cm x 6.7cm, Sold
Tsuba 4: Chidori Birds in Iron with Shakudo Fukurin 7cm x 6.6cm, There was a sticker on this and I neglected to remove some of the grime under it before taking photo's so the "square mark" on one side is grime and not damage. £255 ($400)

3) A kai gunto Sarute with nice patination. I've seen these go anywhere from $100-200 on ebay lately £65 ($100).

4) A brown naval officers Tassel, I'm sure this is genuine as the colouration is good, it has nice tight knots and the Gunto it came off looked like it hadn't been touched in 70 years which is always a good sign but there are a lot of fakes about which is what the 3 day inspection period is for. There's a single loose strand (pictured) and some minor discolouration in places but all in all in very good condition. £110 ($175) £95 ($150)

5) Hawleys Japanese Swordsmiths revised. 1981 hardbound. £225 ($350)

6) ONE HUNDRED MASTERPIECES FROM THE COLLECTION OF DR. WALTER A. COMPTON, 1992 Hardboud with Slipcase. £75 ($120)
