" the blade is is good shape, but is stained with what i believe is blood and received a massive shock which created a hagire (too bad!!!!!!!!!!!) " unless $ is no object ( 3k + or - a few hundreds ), then have it polished and get to enjoy the hada, hamon etc. Otherwise leave it the way it is and what a story one can weave, blood, gore and all. milt the ronin

the fact that it is " HARD " to pass shinsa makes it meaningful. Afterall, if every Joe/Jane Blows can get into Harvard , then what's the big deal ? And Harvard does reject lots of worthy candidates too .............. just my usual warped sense of humor milt the ronin

sorry to hijack the thread, Mantis.............. http://www.esnips.com/web/tsuba?docsPage=1#files Was hoping for a daisho but most likely these two will be labeled as matching pair. Interesting how the identical design can bring out different " feel "............the right one is slightly larger with smaller kiku. Appears " older " too. Take a look see if so inclined. milt the ronin

" Anyhow, I do what I was told by those Japanese collectors - and one Shiroganeshi -who are more knowledgeable than me, and use clear nail polish on the tarnishing prone parts. It doesn't do any permanent harm, i.e. is easily enough removed when so desired without any residue, and you have a hard time detecting it. Heck, I even got Tsuba through NBTHK Shinsa that had nail polish Fukurin without them minding (or maybe even not seeing?) it. " I must try that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! milt the ronin

polishing the silver is no big deal............. if overdone, leave it alone for a few months and the patina will ' repair " itself. milt the ronin
