  1. In 2006, flew from Sydney to San Fransisco, thence on to New York and return. I took a sword in my luggage and didn't have any problems, the Americans didn't care and on the return, the Australian Customs only wanted the tax on the purchase as they thought I had bought it in the US.
  2. I agree with Chris, oil tempered.
  3. G'day and welcome Denis.
  4. Sounds like you're talking yourself into it. IT'S A FAKE!
  5. Thank you, pity I don't have an iphone.
  6. Welcome John, pleased to meet you.
  7. What about the swords that weren't made with Tamahagane, without stamps that have passed Shinsa. Toshihide, Yoshichika and Kunimori. Just off the top of my head.

  9. Yes Chris you're right, Kotani Yasunori .
  10. I can't remember, whether this story was told to me, or that I read it somewhere. Yasuoki, was called up for Military service in 1942. Whilst on active service, Kojima Yasunori made swords signed Yasuoki. Does anyone know if this is true and if so, why?
  11. Nice to meet you Chian, welcome.
  12. Thomas, have you been told this, or know it for a fact? If you know it for a fact, please tell us your sources.
  13. No, I saw this sword for sale. Think it was ebay but not sure. Also, I believe its Showa.
  14. Reading between the lines, it sounds like the three have (excuse the pun) Fallen on their swords.
  15. Definitely a member.
  16. Thank you Chris and David for your help.
  17. Thank you David. I was asking on behalf of a friend of mine and I will let him work it out.
  18. Thanks anyway Chris, unfortunately I can't get a scan of that page.
  19. Sorry Chris, I don't have an oshigata or know which Kanji are used. I believe he is listed in the Gendaito meikan p.204 unfortunately we can't read Japanese. Also I believe his name is Tamamoto Morishige.
