Introduction and some general terms.
Frank Reile replied to Mark's topic in ASIAN ARTS & ANTIQUES LTD
I just received my tsuba from Mark yesterday. I am very pleased with it. He responded back to my inquiry fast, packaged it well and shipped it faster than he said he was going to. Great to deal with! Thanks Mark. Frank R. -

Dear Jewells, I am just south of Utica NY, I am no expert like many here, but have been collecting for a while. If you would like, I could meet up with you somewhere and take a look at it. Frank R. -

I believe this is one of my older pieces. Late Muromachi Period? Sorry for the sideways photos from my phone, not able to rotate them. Frank R. -

I picked up this sword a few years ago at a antique shop and put it up on the rack. The blade has two hada ware, but the blade is a thick heavy beast with a large o- kissaki,in WW2 civilian mounts with hangers and the price was right. I couldn't leave it behind. The blade has a 26" nagasa, kissaki is 3" long, the sori is 7/16", mihaba 1 5/16" wide, kasane is 7mm. I was wondering what you guys think about it, how long it was originally, the age. I'm sure it's no priceless treasure with it's flaws / condition. I'm sorry for my horrible photos. Frank R.

Poll by request. Your first sword era?
Frank Reile replied to Brian's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
The first Japanese sword I bought was a Muromachi period wakizashi in polish, but it was tired. I kept it for a few years and then sold it. Frank R. -
