  1. Still got one. At the time it was a lot of good info for $2.25.
  2. Type (Tachi, Katana, Wakizashi, Tanto, Naginata, Other) : Katana Ubu, Suriage or O-Suriage : Suriage Mei : (Mumei, Signature) : Etchu no Kami Masatoshi Papered or not and by whom? : NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon Era/Age : Early EDO Shirasaya, Koshirae or Bare Blade? : Shirasaya and Koshirae Nagasa/Blade Length : 69cm Sori : 1cm Sword Location : USA Will ship to : USA Payment Methods Accepted : PayPal, Bank Wire Price and Currency : $6795 Other Info and Full Description : Etchu no Kami Masatoshi Katana in good polish. Papered by NBTHK, Tokubetsu Hozon. Masatoshi was the youngest son of Kanemichi, the founder of the Mishina School in Mino. There were four generations that signed Etchu no Kami Masatoshi. At some point the second generation added a 16 petal chrysanthemum to the tang above his signature, which was continued through the later generations. This example does not have the chrysanthemum, placing it as either first generation or early second. Comes in a shirasaya with a gold-foil habaki and includes a very nice koshirae with brass fuchi and kashira, black same-gawa, green tsuks-ito, and black lacquered saya. There are two mon on the Koshirae, I believe they are Ashikaga and Toyotomi, but I could be wrong. It's too hard to keep up with all the international shipping rules and regulations, so I'll only ship within the USA. Price includes shipping and insurance. Thanks for looking. Wayne
  3. I guess California has it's own problems. Trap shooters fly all over the rest of the states with shotguns without issues.
  4. Flying with firearms within the US is also possible, as long as they are in a locked container in the cargo hold.
  5. Some price reductions: 1) $135 2) $110 3) $40 4) $75
  6. For context - 600 Australian Dollars is approximately 400 US dollars.
  7. Completely forgot about that Brian. I'll make sure to use it next time.
  8. Up for sale is a Sagami no kami Fujiwara Hiroshige wakizashi. This smith is from the Bushu Shitahara tradition. There were seven generations that ran from beginning of Shinto to the restoration. This one is by the second generation, Kanbun Period, 1661-1673, Fujishiro Ranking Chu Saku, Hawley Ranking 15 points. Blade is in an old polish, but all the workmanship of the blade can be seen. This is an ubu blade, signed, with only the original ana. Papered by NTHK-NPO. Nagasa 52.8cm, kasane 7mm, motohaba 3.2cm, sakihaba 2.3cm. This is a healthy blade that comes with the NTHK-NPO Kanteisho paper, silver foil habaki, shirasaya, and a storage bag. $2500 to your door in the US.
