    I have never sent a sword for papering before, could someone give me some pointers do's and don'ts? Is this perhaps a discussion to be started on the main board? Thank you in advance. Chris Wise

    I did post some pictures in the main board, I will endeavor to post better pictures and descriptions later today. Again thank you all for your great help and experience Sincerely, Chris Wise

    The perspective consignor expects a steep price tag so I do not know whether I can accommodate them with a reasonable estimate yet. But I can definitely give you credit, hopefully credit your name via Nihonto Message board. My cataloging is subject to a editorial process so I will do my very best to accurately describe and credit on this sword. Thank you again. Chris Wise

    I have posted here several times in the past with great success. I do work for an auction gallery so please be aware that what information you give me may be used in cataloging. I am an enthusiast, and not having a great deal of knowledge or money this is my way of still learning about what I love and handling great things but drawing a paycheck to boot. So thank you in advance. Please see pictures of inscription on my post in "translation help" Any thoughts on this piece?

    shows you what one semester of Japanese taught me lol printed is much different from written. Kane Uji I believe is the answer thank you very much for your help. Care to help walk me through the rest of the inscription? I do greatly appreciate your help and if there is interest in bidding on this should I manage to take it in as a consignment please let me know and I can make sure you receive a copy of our catalog. May I post pictures of the blade here? Sincerely, Chris Wise

    I have posted here previously and letting every know that information gained here may be used in auction cataloging. I thank you all in advance for information gathered here. I will be happy to let everyone know where/when it will be sold if desired. Any thoughts on maker or age?

    I was hoping to find out the name of the hamon pattern on this blade, and if anyone could translate the mei. All other help would be appreciate it. This item will be auctioned off at David Rago's Arts and Auction Center Sept. 10th or 11th. thank you in advance for your help Chris Wise

    Thank you for your time and understanding. I am very interested in learning about Japanese blades, however I always seem to buy the duds lol, and the auction hall always seems to get the good ones... So I thank you in advance for all of your help.

    It has been brought to my attention that I may have misused this discussion board. I work at an auction hall and my consignors have brought these pieces to me and I needed some legitimate help. I do thank you all for your quick concise help, and apologize if this was misleading. In the future I will only use this board to advance my own personal collection.
