    There not " compressed " as you call it, in what i think you mean by as in reduced by a hard suriage, having the nakago reshaped and reducing the thickness??? Its just very very poorly finished . Very very suspicious. I wouldn't touch it with your pole suspicious. Chrome plated or literally puffed and polished on a wheel to a inche of its life

    You guys in the US have a stronger market and therefore more buyers. Australia is different, very different. Smaller buying group. And i cant see Mark wanting the hassle of selling internationally

    Not to speak meanly, but Otto's prices have always been on the fantasticly high side. Imho a non traditional blade in good mounts. 2500-3200 aud. Thr surate looks added on, the patina and wear doesnt match. So the tassel is equally suspect to the originality to the sword

    Andrew doesn't polish any old sword. And i can't speak on his behalf but hes has decline jobs on condition of blades. Remember he gets paid the same to polish masterpieces compared ordinary unknown smith..

    your wire is just plain sold wire, almost electronical wire in construction. the typical wire you find on kyu tsuka is elaberate in its construction, like a piano wire being and the centre wire is normally a 3 wire type

    Personal thoughts just on the blade Repro

    The wire isn't original. So its possible that it was done in the field or evan post war, at the very best. But the wood isnt a good shape. Theres good points and suspect points. Its boarder line for me.
