  3. I'm like you George know very little about tosogu, more than enough to get me into trouble, I do like the simple style. Koichi we can always count on you for in depth clarity. Hai Domo! This is the rest of the package and i feel the tsuba goes quite well with the F/K maybe not so much the kozuka but it works. this may come up for sale soon check the For Sale thread in the next week or so.
  4. like a ode to Tanyu huh? i like it and it dont look like a joke to me.
  5. after much google, i only found out about the painter....any one have Tanyu in you tsuba books? sorry if im asking to much.
  6. Thank you Koichi, I knew I could count on you. any of the resident Tosogu guys care to make the call, gimei?

  12. your lucky you only paid 80$ we have had them (new buyers of so called Japanese swords) put down 800$ ouch!...you have a wall hanger that you can tell your friends a good story. BTW we request...er make that a rule per signup ...to sign each post with a real name. no nicknames no fantasy names. you can put that in your user profile so you dont have to type it each time. Happy hunting!

  14. Good to have you back Bugs, having withdrawls for your hunt and find....PICS PLEASE!!!
  15. Yea your right, was thinking if someone wanted to do something like that id do the leg work for cost of shipping for all US members...just putting it out there.
  16. got a email for the catalog of the Dai Token Ichi 2009 from sanmei I dont mind the price of it but shipping doubles it, anyone have any ideas for getting a batch and shipping them to state side so i could send orders out here in the good ol USA? http://www.sanmei.com/shop_e/enter.html ... lang=en-us
  17. tip dont get stars in you eyes if you have a stamped blade with great activity,,,it will get bumped at any shinsa. 99.9999% of the time its just showato. maybe add a few more nines.
  18. Joe Id like to think well be having a show in the near future...last one was in O7 in the cities. while we wait, id try to contact Andy Q. he might be able to set up a sit down with him...I sure youll find it a fun day. Andy is one of the good guys. http://www.nihonto.us/ edit to add Bills web page...sorry Bill.....hes a good guy too and near the cities. http://www.artswords.com/
  19. must be something, as after two or three PMs, one email and one email off his web site...no contact. Yes its a nice nude ...be sure to check who signed it. well done.
  20. has anyone tried to contact Janusz? after looking at his web site http://widok4.pl/index.php?s=oferta&id=6 i have questions in last sword, x naga. the mei was talked about three years ago on this board viewtopic.php?f=1&t=146&hilit=akinaga so far no response ....or maybe its just me that hes not getting back to.
  21. Bob IMHO pass on it and save for a sound wak in good mounts, youll be glad you did. Dont even think about the katana something really wrong with the kissaki
  22. see your facebook for my Bday wishes, keep breathing youll get to be a ripe ol age....take it from a ripe one 64 is pretty ripe.
  23. checking it twice to make sure? lest you got the same answer from SFI
  24. Yes stop the red rust, lightly, no hard rubbing. If its thick bubbling rust tap it with something thats not metal. Ive see top togi do this so not to worry.
  25. best way is to have a fire sale to get rid of it.
