  1. To play devils advocate ill take the other side, on many occasions a newbie would ask the standard newbie question only to fall on def reply, or with a out lash of boy that's a piece of junk hope you didn't pay over x amount of dollars what a dumb buy, type of response. seen it happen all too often, one of the reasons I took on the Mod job was to help the new guy with the standard question. I think newbie corner is not a bad idea, they can ask basically the same questions but in a place when more advanced collectors don't have to enter. does seem like a waste of space and can see a lot of Translation Assistance getting sent back and forth, but a sound concept none the less.
  2. one full shot from top to bottom will get faster response, all the head leaning gets PPL neck ache's, from the second to last id say yoshihisa? a seki smith.
  3. Some fine photos James...get some face as we like to see how old them guys are geting LOL
  4. moved to ebay with the link. http://cgi.ebay.com/Tsuba-Japanese-GENU ... dZViewItem
  5. so whats the answer? dont say one of the lower two (only smiliy thats green) was wondering if you seen Nihonto at a fair like that why not show what one could buy in the street, does one have to take it too there local PD when you get home? bit puzzled why nothing was said about his table and what he had to offer, as this board is about Nihonto.
  6. all prices were lowered by fifty to one hundred dollars.
  7. id guess B. in the third pix down vendor on the left...is that Nihonto for sale? like this thread, neat stuff and no conflicts.
  8. dont think you need to remove the handle, blade looks machine made.
  9. looks to be Kyugunto...have you had a go to see if its signed? cant tell much without blade shots
  10. Thanks for that Brian was going to hit it with a move on, much better items to post on.
  11. Brian has got it down to a T maybe a tad high with the saber due to condition, one long shot late war mount 44 type did have a few Nagamitsus and Emura's more the former than the latter. its worth a look. Be sure to take note like Brian said they often had two holes. thick active rust can be bunrished off with a hard edge steel. you might not want to do that PM me for more info, if its flaky a tapping of wood mallet will release some, id go with the oil and rags for a start. If some of its gummy use opps cleaner and rags. good luck
  12. Hi Rodney here is a link for you to check which type you have. http://home.earthlink.net/~steinrl/military.htm
  13. What you got is a 175 dollar blade, do not waste any more money on it....kizu the size of the grand canyon is a big ouch to eye, study the other side and call it quits on this ...my 2 yen.

  16. Koichi san could it be read Masa?
  17. Thanks Brian, i would like to think it could be.
  18. the only thing i ever had problems with was my stupidy as put a newly polished sword in shirasaya in front of a window once it made for like a small green house inside....and it only took a day or two for rust to form!!. maybe change location in your home?
  19. Bugys YES!!! more than worthy other wise they would go to waste. it must be the houses, as Iowa is muggy humid and i dont get any rust on mine. ???
  20. and a shot from inside, not very good , sorry.
  21. First off the translation will be used on a consigned item coming up Sunday on Ebay just to let you know in advance first is the mei Second has anyone ever seen a hole in a fuchi it does not look new and not drilled but rather punched, would this serve a purpose, water or other liquid drain? Thanks for taking the time to look and help.
  22. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZbudo-to A relist of consigned items that did not sell, in part i pary of bad timing of SFTK show, added a Muneyoshi papered by NTHKnpo.
