Some are signed by the author and dedicated to former well-known members of the collecting world. Worldwide shipping is available, alternatively pickup in Munich, Germany. Open to reasonable offers, especially when buying multiple items. For more information and individual shipping rates please pm. Best regards Johannes Nikolas Sword books.pdf

Wow that is absolutely stunning, you are a great help and a generous person Morita san Thanks a lot!!! Greetings, Nikolas

Gentlemen, any new possible matches? greetings, Nikolas

Thank you Mr Hallam! That is interesting and good news :D as already mention by Bazza, the original Nitromors isn´t avaiable everywhere.. like here in europe. But if there is no harm to the patina i will try an avaiable paintstripper, even when not containing dichloromethane. i really haven´t thought of this radical way... especially when its so soft to the piece Greetings Nikolas

thanks gentlemen1 but i hesitate to do any harm to the piece and risking any damage to the patina and gold foil. so i will wait for the experts opinions as for a big restauration including repunching.. i don´t think i will go that far. i like the aged look, and dont want to renew the item. just wanna get rid of the grid :D greeting Nikolas

Hi Morita san, thank you very much for your kind help!! I tried to measure the menuki´s weight but my scale is only capable of dissolving up to one gram. i can only measure the single menuki as the twin is still wrapped in place. The weight is between 6-7 gram, which would perfektly fit with 12,8 gram for both of them. (the display changes between 6 and 7, but always end up with 6. Which means it is near to 6.5 but a little less (handbook). hope this helps! again Nikolas
