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.

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?

So keep giving crazy examples here on this thread. ENJOY

forget it

Well, that's why I got rid of everything that required some kind of intervention. I would never buy again.

So leave it as it is. No one is asking for your intervention.

just as an aside: how are you with swords? they will probably be useless too.
