I don’t know how the mail is Internationally but here in my part of the USA it stinks. I had three packages sent to me in New Jersey from Washington state, the two small ones arrived as expected as per the tracking numbers. The third, a Sword send home box, was over a month late. The USPS was of no help. The sender and I both filed lost forms, again with no help. The tracking said “ in transit” so that is all we were told. No one ever knew where it was. When I did receive it it was fine and in perfect shape. I am waiting for a small package as we speak that according to the tracking was within 10 miles of me and now it is it is 50 miles from me. Maybe it will find its way back and maybe not. Good luck and I hope everyone’s packages reach them as expected. It is stressful enough when everything works as expected, but really stressful when things happen.. MikeR

That’s a beautiful blade. Thank you for sharing MikeR

Please let me know when you figure out a price. I like it MikeR

Nice sword. I think you did very well. I love the Hamon. Congrats! MikeR

Some things don’t need anything added. I think it says a whole lot. Thank you for sharing MikeR

SteveM, thank you so much for your time and information. MikeR

Great video. Thank you for sharing MikeR

Thank you SteveM. Would it make any sense for this tag to be on a captured sword? MikeR

Just wondering if this tag translates to anything or is it just a bunch of mombo-jumbo? Thank you in advance. MikeR

Welcome and thank you for sharing MikeR

Brian my PP got screwed up with the purchase of a new phone but it looks like you got payment for 1 year gold. Not much but it’s something, hope it helps a little because this site and the people here have helped me a lot. Thank you MikeR

Brian, I have never sold anything on the board, since my budget is limited most of what I buy keep for my meager collection. I found this board in the beginning of my interest in Nihonto and check in at least 2x a day. I learn something here every day and have purchased, at least in my mind, some treasures, that I am very proud of. I have met some great people here that have treated me like a old friend even though we never met. All the people that I have dealt with here have been top notch. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN. All this said I would like to send you a donation, some Thank You cash to help out. What is the Gold membership all about? Maybe this is a good place to start. Please let me know how to go about a donation. Have a Happy Holiday and stay safe MikeR

Not a flag expert but I have a few. It looks good to me and it’s a nice one. MikeR

Very cool. Thank you for sharing MikeR

Stephen thank you for sharing this. I watched it start to finish and it was very interesting and informative to me.I really enjoyed it. MikeR

A couple more

Here are a few pictures of a room that I am in the process of setting up in my new home. I always collected WW2 military and a few years ago said “ I just want one Japanese Sword” LOL . Look at me now. Hope you enjoy. MikeR

Ok Brian here are some more pictures of the top 3. Yes they are all one piece

Here is a picture of a few of mine. I find them very interesting, some very detailed, not usually inexpensive, and at least for me hard to find for sale. Hope you enjoy them and feel free to comment. If anyone would like a better picture of any individual piece please let me know. Thank you for looking. MikeR

I just wanted to thank John ( bigjohnshea ) for allowing me to be the new caretaker of his Tanemitsu Tanto. John was a pleasure to work with and made the whole process painless. I received the Tanto today and it was shipped fast, wrapped extremely well and more beautiful in person. It will be a treasured addition to my meager collection. Thank you again. MikeR

Matt very nice package, I would be proud to own it myself. Thank you for sharing MikeR
