  5. id did not wait for the large pix to load other pages opend fine...to bad its set up this way...i know some dail up guys will not see them.
  6. I doubt many will be able to see as all links go to Acrobat Reader,and the large pix do not open...is it the same for others?
  7. their getting closer all the time ...its a copy
  8. Ford tell tell ya the truth I like them both, sometimes all that gold takes away from the silhouette image of the dark patina of bronze.
  9. unanimous
  10. :lol: had nothing to do with that, i talked to them on the phone...they got some worrried peps there.
  11. goes to show ya what one thinks is quality, I know if I had done that in metal class id been very happy, but as the old saw says, those who can do and those who cant teach and those who cant teach become teamsters. I appreciate your knowledge and if you have a link to some top casting id like to compare them. Your a breath of fresh air for the board. Hai Domo!
  12. having problems also...will not let you withdraw funds to your bank, lucky I got mine out by using another email address. Have a feeling a crash is coming soon.
  13. i had it filed as kaneyoshi dont know why i typed kanemitsu...too many things going on at once ...hai domo!
  14. the lady selling this is setting on sending any more pix she must have been bombared with questions, so im asking anyone with better eyes than mine whats your make of the mei.
  15. I don't know my sculptors just recognize quality...the one plate has something mitsu saku...cant read the other maybe some of our new metal members can help us out. Yes a very good price indeed just pricey to someone on SSD.
  16. very pricey but very well done. Great detail. If i were a rich man http://cgi.liveauctions.ebay.com/ws/eBa ... la-image-9
  17. in Japan that looks to have a seki stamped removed...anyone in Nippon know how this works, can you have a stamp removed then sell it? http://www.aoi-art.com/sword/katana/06311.html
  18. look before you leap...ask for more pix...i did this is what i got, hope someones not going to be too upset when it comes in the mail. Glad i asked, mei is sadamori.
  19. he did not ask me that just if a togi would if asked...i agree a ubu hamachi is of more value in many cases.
  20. looks like it had a major file job and not very well done...it does show you what a polish can do for a gunto blade. BTW got love the Bisyu Osafune Yokoyama Sukekane saku hes got up for sale....where are the Lotto Gods!
  21. this month must be the month of great metal work...from Ford to Jim and now this, who is the maker of the fittings...and MORE pix of the blade please.
  22. Eric got a bit carried away on this one...no Kizu??? the bidding reflects this swrod, he does have good sword from time to time this is not one of them, cant make it out does it look like a seki stamp to eveyone?
  23. you bring up a good point, Tsuba are most often looked at for their artistic merits and not the weight or balance it brings to a sword, that also came into play for the samurai, not just for the blissful Zen moment before he would cut off someone's head, he would be sure of the balance and fluidity of his cut.
  24. hes high bidder on the first one if that tells you anything.
