First one Yoshi.

MPPOV YOU should have went with it. The one won is just too crude for my taste. Others may differ

Brian trying to explain to Dee and Dan How things work around here.

This is Ma Kettle sans pipe just so Dee knows. Miss Dee me thinks it's time to give it up no need for last word, point well made, I would like this thread to stick around so I can see tsuba and not have it locked. Signed Ol dad

@KungFooey Well Well seems I missed a bit of a dust up, probably for the best I would have added only more stress to Brian because old dad can't keep his mouth shut or fingers off the little funny things when put together make a word which is a concept which hurts people's feeling. Back to the point in question, I like that little flat piece of iron I think it's older than some think but I'm far far from being a tsuba expert. Can't wait for it to be in your hand so we can see a picture of your hand, cuz the picture of your face is way much younger I thought, I pictured a Ma Kettle with a corn cob pipe in your mouth, exaggerating of course you seem to be older soul. So yes let's all play nice you too Danny boy...almost broke into song there....from a victim of the down vote buy you know who. Peace love and happiness pip pip cheerio!

William see how much better is when you take time to crop out all the black

@KungFooey While your doing your search in Nippon auctions if you come across any like these I would appreciate a heads up

The current in Vogue oil Amazon $8

Hey Peter good to see you post. Kinda miss the old get together's, Still in Arkansas?

In place of book insert your personal vice, Nihonto, Tosogu, etc.

Wow I didn't realize the scale until I seen it in your hand that's really well done

That's what I was thinking.

What a seal...er deal. Wanted one for so long he was a teacher of one of the swords I used to own, Hiromasa, maybe the buyer would like this .

Dee I see your fugi and raise you even fugier

Not bad, if there was a starter blade I would think this could be one. Tons of study time there.

Respect for standing your ground I did search by his name all over 7K good luck

Not a member place to say overpriced. A truism in many fields especially in Nihonto one never gets back what one puts into a polish. Unless top ranked Nippon polish.

The Grave Digger strikes again

I get a feeling that the habaki was added as we're the rest of the parts. One wouldn't expect the habaki to stick out above the mune.

Been out of the game, I used to figure take off 00 and the price would be close but now $50 difference wow. Deanna nice to have a brother in country.

Maybe Nobody will come along

Easily double or triple your money in parts. OR have your smitty weld on New nakago

Probably the best learning tool to begin with. You'll know better next time and to ask before you leap. Onwards and upwards.

Ran we don't do offers. You have to have a fixed price and go from there.

@Bruce Pennington Nice date too bad I can't read the rest.
