  1. Thanks Gordon. Duh! I should open my eyes. Gerald
  2. That is where I am. Where do I find him? Gerald
  3. Thank you K. Morita that was very nice of you to do that. Thank ya'll for all the info. I live in North Texas. If ya'll know of someone close that could evaluate it before I spend a lot of money please let me know.
  4. I have been in contact with David Hofhine. I had him put me on the waiting list just in case. I will look up Bob. I just don't want to spend a ton of money if it won't increase the value to more than I spend on reconditioning. I really would like more info on the craftsman. Gerald
  5. Thank you Greg. I posted some pics for some reason some posted twice. I will post more. Gerald
  6. I am new to this. I have had this sword since I found it as a child at least 40 years ago. I recently found someone to translate the writing on the tang. It was made in August 1806 by Okamoto Yasutomo. It is pitted and a few dings on it. I have found two swords made by the same person within a couple of years of mine. One is in the Gutenberg Project on Japanese Swords #35 in the pic and the other was on a list of superior ranked swords. I am trying to decide if I need to insure it, have it restored, if so by whom or if I should leave it as it is. Any help would be appreciated. Trying to figure out how to post a pic. Gerald
