Dear friends,
It is a pleasure to enter this unknown world! I got here by advice of some friends that collect antiquities like me.
I recently received an offer to exchage one of my Ushabti and a cuneiform tablet for a (supposably) ancient japaneses sword. The other guy claims it was bought from a Japanese immigrant family (Brazil is the largest Japanese community outside Japan), and that is a couple of centuries old..
I do like it, seems very elegant to me, but is not my area of knowledge (if I do have any in antiquities). I know nothing about it!
I took some pictures of it and would really appreciate if any of the weapons experts could give me a clue on time and value of this piece.
I thank you all in advance,
Paolo
