Edit, we must have posted at the same time

Oh my lord thats good work

im still dumbfounded as to why "this" dealer is the point of measurment to other sales. far better, more honest dealers in Japanese to use as a ruler then aoi

There you go snappy Dan. Positive comments.

I understand your approach dale but on a law of averages. Ebay vs jauce for honest tsuba at honest prices with honest descriptions. Jauce hands down. Ebay is 95% rubbish now. 15-20 years ago it was good but now i wouldnt even shop there for sex toys

Money is not a indicator of intelligence but monkeys do like bananas

Correct. Ijima factory if i remembers correctly

Ebay has 2 things. Crap tsuba and over priced tsuba. Jauce is a far better option for the tsuba hunter if you know what your looking at

149 ebay tsuba omg This dosnt sound good

USD or AUD??

I see we both watch his website. Great company to deal with

Hey if you got the money and you like it. Anything is possible at auction. Just means a very very very slow reale time frame

You have some very fine examples of schools there

dont be vague, price range please??

He got the redcross dirk, whooooee. rare

Im still surprised aoi is mentioned in positive terms. A guy i would never buy from. Onto quality. Its a very small area of study and collection. Like any area, good things move in closed circles because friendships last over decades. A sales relationship only lasts as long as thr buyers are getting the prices they like. Also iv refused to sell to people because they dont have the understanding of how to treat a nihonto. We are caretakers not owners. Uneducated people damage things through ignorance

iv been waiting 16 weeks for a tanto now now. cant rush the system

dont be lead astray but uneducated words, everything show in these pictures is just modern repro s**t, full stop the end. its not Japanese, its not evan pre 1980's. you have failed to educate yourself with books before buying. thats not a gamble its being uneducated

Hi guys, found this at the bottom of a tsuba box and it appears to show the tsuba i bought in that add. could the there be a date? or shop name. big thanks to everyone for help. regards H

Hi Curran, yes the Tosa work imho is gem, 2nd Gen signed TOSA KUNI JI MYOCHIN KINO TOSHIO. the filled hitsu ana are odd but very pleasing. this is technically and study and release piece, to fund my akasaka fetish but honestly i think it surpasses akasaka in some aspects. its thick too 6.75mm. ill pm you curran soon.

yes, our local post office. a change of staff occured only 4 weeks ago. i offically classify all postal workers as theiving scu,m until proven otherwise now. i was lucky, because there was a 2nd gen tosa mychin and a 6th gen akasaka

After threatening with reporting it to the police yesterday as theft. xxxx me it was magically found. Case closed

thats one thing about paypal, they have fees but they cover you incase of theift

They where received into my local post office. This is acknowledged by them. The pufff missing. And yes same tsuba

Hi guys. Keep a eye out for these two. Stolen aka lost by Australia post employees on Monday. Police report will be filed tomorrow. Full tracking and signature on delivery and insurance. But still not enough these days
