  2. think Grey's post was in comment to large type,,,to bad his pix are not that large
  3. Think now is the time for all you starters to pic up a blade if your fluid, one or two post here for swords selling much lower than last year.
  4. yes imho polish it.
  5. think a close up is in order for the tail.
  6. Tiger tail huh? thougt it was a snake at first, i think i like the latter, seems more balanced to my eye.
  7. Todd sent me link in PM http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... otohosting the pitting in the ha and kissaki is a bit worrisome, let our local togis have the say on repair.

  9. lets wait untill after sunday LOLLOLO
  10. Jon Welcome aboard, don't know if you remember me I made the sword show for a few years a decade ago, always enjoyed talking to you and remembered your kind patience when asking newbie questions, funny your coming aboard as I'm about to leave. Anyway
  11. that is just too funny, better take a pix of it while it last. ill be good as i have some reality stuff to post later.
  12. silly thread so here it is for as long as it stays up...and yes tomato still producing in the make shift greenhouse in the background of the once cut back basil, you see folks here in the states need to do this with the coming colapse of ....sorrryyy
  13. wish i could go off topic and show my basil, makes Grays look rather puny, oh and we need little block on his shirt to mark out the politcal add...

  16. id not dwell n the knot, its missing a fuchi which is more consern to my eye, maybe show a shot of the kashira and some one may have something close or a match.
  17. the first mei is reversed so it does seem out of whack, lower shot looks confident to me.
  18. most likly added by the GI or previous owner, it does not belong on the tsuka.
  19. this from another thread maybe a email to him and share the info, i looked in sword and the Same but did not find what i was looking for as to the size of swords and age of chidren getting swords. Im thinking yours is going to be a wow factor when finished. A path i led you down that i hope i dont regret.
  20. I can ship it to whomever wins, might ask for help with postage if somewhere far far away like pluto or SA. I boxed it and weight is 2lb from 50316 zip code. Also a pix on the correct side, it even has a box for your shop or name.
  21. If not nihonto enough I can with draw the offer of this banner. I use to hang it at Gun shows as they had very high ceilings, (about 20') and around my table at sword shows. be great if you had a shop to attract customers or put it up on a holiday. not sure what the letters in lower right hand corner are...if its not wanted by anyone I'll put it up on Ebay, otherwise my meager offering for the raffle.
  22. is das wonderbar!!!!!
  23. far from heavy....in translation that is...but first thought yoshi...prob wrong.
  24. When i think of Kai gunto with the smith Masa whomever i think of the Minatogawa shrine smiths...not sure if this is the same one but there is one on the list. http://home.earthlink.net/~steinrl/gendai.htm
  25. with your bank?
