  9. Hi, I want to ship a sword from the Uk over to Australia. The customs website states that it is ok, as long as it is packed well and has the correct customs code, which, as it's an antique should be 9706. Will this be enough? David

  16. Cheers Steve, As I thought, it interested me as it was rather "off field" Was there ever a Yamakichibei pattern book, like the Yagyu one? David
  17. Steve, Is this one also a later revival tsuba? David
  18. Curran, Yes I agree about the Haynes catalogues, they were a moment in time, not unlike the Joly's before, knowledge moves forward. It's interesting that Robert Buraway said in "The Picture Book of Old Tsuba" that under the heading of Hoan and Yamakichibei, "Never seen a real one in the west!" Was he only thinking of the first and second? Is he right?? David
