    Quite true, I had also talked a price with Peter.... But that's that I suppose. And he was a cash only guy. So we have lost another sword dealer in the UK. Mick

    R.I.P. I new Peter Yorke, Quite well and spoke to him at the Motor Cycle Musiem often. He was a great believer in the three "P"s (Payup, Pickup, and P#ss off) I suppose cash is King after all. I was supposed to Pickup a sword from him at the last show there. Mick Does anyone know what happened to his Collection? I was told that the Gardener took them all? (A Window).

    I forgot to say that the sword is: A short sword: Wakizashi / Chisa Katana. Blade is: 54cm / 21.25 inches In: Military Mount's = WWII With a: Hi I will dig it out later on today if I can find it again? Thanks, Mick.

    P.S. I've also just found a sword in my collection that I bought unsigned at the time. About ten years ago! And just the other day in the bright sunlight clear as day a signature on the tang showed up. So I will look it out again and take some photo's for you. And maybe you can give me some information on it? Thanks again, Mick.

    Hi all, Long time no speak. I wonder if you can help me find a Book / Reference piece please. I think it is from: 1898 to 1942? And has smiths and blade Reference photo's and makers names also. I think it's all in Japanese so no English version to my knowledge. I have only seen the softback version of this book? I would very much like to get a copy new or old. Have you ever seen such a book? Again thanks for any help that you can give me. Mick

    Hi Kronos, That's fine. It was the guy that I got the sword from that said that it had the "Brothers" mark on it. I have no idea what he meant by this either? Thanks anyway, Mick

    Hi Kronos, No there are no other marks on the tang! And there is no Seki/Arsenal marks that I can see either. Please see my photo's for your reference. Thanks Mick P.S. Sorry I did not mean to break the rules. I have now changed to my real name!

    Hi all, And thanks again for all your help with the Showa date's. I was also told that there is a "Brothers" mark on this sword tang. Is this correct? Thanks Mick

    Hi again, Mark is (Kihara Yoshimasa) his full name. And isn't it Showa + 14 = 1940? Thanks again for your help. Mick

    Thanks Mark, I was told that the date was (1939) but I had no idea as to the maker until now, Thanks again. Mick
