Dan:
I've known and dealt with Alfred and his wife for over ten years, and have never had a bit of difficulty. He attends the Florida Show each February and has helped me to learn some of the finer points of collecting. I have purchased over 5 blades and a number of tsubas from him. His description and photos on the web site are excellent. I wouldn't hesitiate to purchase from him or allowing him to sell an item, in fact he's done that for me also. Very fair and honest.
Outstanding young man.
Randy
