  1. If you are in the San Antonio, Texas area please feel free to join us for our first meeting Feb 3rd at 3pm. You can send either me or Roger a DM for the location and details etc. Hope we can get some of the Texas collectors to catch on here and make this a regular meeting.
  2. Your link is a link about Dean Hartley and this was not his stuff. This was Mike Quigley's stuff and was a while back.
  3. Fred Weissberg at Nihonto.com has great stuff and it's hard to go wrong there.
  4. We are going to start a San Antonio, Texas area monthly sword club that meets monthly. We will be meeting in San Antonio and welcome everyone from surrounding areas as it has been quite a while since we had a Texas based group. Would love to hear from anyone in the area that would like to meet. We will be starting meetings in December 2023 in downtown San Antonio. The plan is to meet monthly on a specific Saturday but would love to hear thoughts about what might work best for folks. I will be starting this up with (many of you know Roger Robertshaw who is the authority on Hizento) and our intent is on creating a group that educates on Nihonto and Tosogu. Please feel free to reach out to me via Pm or here and we will let everyone know our meeting plans. Thanks.
  5. Fyi this year's DTI will only be on Saturday and Sunday not on Friday as in prior years so only the 18th and 19th.
  6. Peter I am currently on the board and you can PM me if you need help. Alternatively Bob Benson is the current president and you can reach out to him as well via his website.
  7. DTI has been booked for some time and several of us will be there. Nihonto.com has a link that has the details for the show. https://nihonto.com/2022-dti/
  8. If it was already spoken for then it should not have been listed here so probably need to discuss with Peter.
  9. Not sure if this is just a duplicate post or looking for something different. Here is a nice Daisho set though. https://www.nihonto.com/11-4-21/
  10. There was one many years ago and Dick was the president at that time. Dick has since moved to Dallas and is really not active in swords anymore. There was also a group that met after that when Dr. Ford moved there but after his death that group disbanded as well. There are several collectors there in Houston still, I have moved to San Antonio so a bit far away for a meeting for me.
  11. Yes this could be although there are also other schools it could be as there are surely in common elements. Truly without a signature since this is not typical I think it would be a tough call and might be unlikely to get a Tanaka Toryusai school paper. My opinion of course.
  12. can you help me with some feed back

    on my hizen

     

     

  13. There is room for everyone in the NBTHK-AB in my opinion regardless of whether they are interested in preservation, appreciation, or collecting. The unifying across all is a love for the items and sincere search for knowledge about them. For many of us who are members and even officers of that organization we spend a lot of precious time trying to foster those ideals as unpaid volunteer efforts to try and do everything we can to see this hobby not only survive but thrive.
