  9. id be more than glad to help, i go to a local post office and mark it Japanese Nihonto and they dont blink a eye, when ask if anything hazardous i tell them not unless your 17c Samurai and they just smile. I ship swords around the world. youd just need a address that will know what to do with the incoming sword.
  10. to a small time guy like me it wouldnt mean a hell of beans if gimei, thats one very nice set.

  20. Ed has said it all for me, except from the looks of the pix a Shinsa team should be able to tell from it in hand, id wait for one in Chi town or the twin cities then have it looked at by the pros. it may well be worth the wait.
