When opening a PM from my email notifications I can't get to the home page so I end up closing the webpage and re-opening it From the PM page I can get to selected topics but not the home page Ooops - Just saw almost greyed out 'home' button! No reply required

Very nice tsuba especially the first one I watched but I'm sure the hammer price would double if I had it sent to the UK I almost got a nasty sock from German auction regarding the packing and shipping costs Luckily a NMB member picked it up for me

Nice solid tsuba and emits strength One I'd like to own

I think that will do it Brian - thanks

I put a wire down the say and it stops about the length of the blade and an interesting point so maybe not cobbled together

How vary dare you Gwyn! A poser! Makes sense as only the outside would be seen

Hi I just wondered why the saya was so much longer than the blade

Hi Rich I think this has what I'm looking for Japanese Sword Visual Glossary I just depends if it pixilates when enlarged If I use this/these images it would only be a one off at the exhibition and I can state it's origin as well as the copywrite details Grev

I may photograph one of mine but a line drawing would show up the hamon better

I agree 'T'. The one I saw in an auction was fan shaped so it is a repurposed gessan

That would work if it doesn't pixilate when enlarge Do you know if there are any copywrite issues?

Thanks Bruce I was looking for the more standard form and with the blade out so I can label the hamon I'm sure a drawn version would be clearer

I've just received the 'The Kinuko Manuscript' about the Hizen school As it was found in 2008 and his Hizen 'gold' book was a few years earlier I wondered if there were any thing new that he found out

Hi Does anyone have an image of a katana and it's fitting for a museum exhibition It only need to have the basic parts listed but it can't be copywrited Or a katana image and I can add the parts labels A PM would be ideal
