and we drive on, you will notice the stuck-on decoration https://page.auction.../auction/e1104661353 https://page.auction.../auction/j1104641385

in the morning there was edo, they changed it. otherwise I wouldn't have put it here

super quality kawari kabuto https://www.invaluab...9f060c57286ca47ead54

by the way, here are the names of one seller who has several yahoo accounts and sells mixed fakes. It's a woman : SAKI NAKATANI ( real name ) , Of course she bids for herself from other accounts. she is definitely part of the counterfeiting group. Uses multiple accounts for sales. ukauka41, tatuma2000_02, osaan3, skwdv30447, noppobon, gunjindo, marim4567 and maybe some new......

I have a better name : " kyodai fakes "

so the third time still myochin 18 century https://www.catawiki...n-Japan-18th-century

first of all there is no need to discuss anything with you. the fact that you repeatedly approve the same mempo (which almost every amateur knows), although you have been warned what it is, speaks for itself. I've had a few things on catawiki for sale so I'm familiar with the approval process. and you lie again You can write to the seller and they will adjust the description or exclude the item. Namely, if my photos were allegedly not of good quality, I received a message from catawiki: that the photo must be bigger, closer, sharper, without a flash, etc., or my objesct will not be approved. So if you make excuses for bad photos, you are lying again.On the other hand, you are labeling legitimate things as fakes. I also believe that there is various manipulation going on there. And finally, above your price estimates is ridiculous. So your " EXPERT " level is a shame.

again expert scum + seller same middle edo - myochin

it's a longer debate, but it was sold by a seller in Japan, who is overwhelmingly counterfeiting. ( the first kaburo )

more fakes from Japan https://www.jauce.com/auction/d1101659687 , this seller always sell fakes mixed with some original parts

200 ? or best offer

Luc, maybe you can explain it to this expert when he is at the next event ( Japan Art Expo 2023, 3-4 June)or somewhere else , he is realy shame

calm down, I'm not angry. Thing is, it's not the edo period, it's the late showa, which makes a hell of a difference. and the "expert" will sanctify it.

so you still didn't understand it, so one more time: it's underlined in red: EDO PERIOD, Luc wrote: ............ READ!

I just wanted to explain to DIMITRI that he didn't know what it was about. Thanks

220 euro , new

lately I have been observing the stupidity of "wannabe experts", so this thread will be about them. they just copy some text with foreign words and put it there because they think that the customers are of course even more stupid.

OTOTSUGU

that's great, wow, beautiful. I have no words.

either the buyer is a complete idiot or they are laundering money there. but given that description, that means their expert is also an idiot.

Ian , No offense. I am interested in one thing. Have you ever worked with your hands to restore armor? that you finished it and it turned out successfully?
