Well, I had several "well known" people tell me it was a 500$ purchase, I should return it and hang my head in eternal shame. Im not looking to flip this or make a big sum of cash, I just wanted a ancient blade, that fell in my budget and had great history. To that end, I feel vindicated and will have to take this to a panel to see if I can get papers. If I cant get it papered, Ill see if I can have the mei struck and then papered. Not everyone can afford 10,000$ -200,000$ rung so this is great for me.
