Thank you, Piers. I bought this figure out of curiosity. Anyway I like it for what it is and will keep it in my possession.

Gents, I would like to share my recently acquired netsuke with you. I think it was made of ivory and looks interesting. I always had an interest in a lot of Japanese art objects aside of nihonto, but this particular piece is my first netsuke. I would like to know more about this object, perhaps someone can tell me the translation of the stamp it bears. Thank you in advance. Stefan

The new asking price is 3800€ plus shipping and fees. A great price for a great sword.

The Kurihara Akihide is still available.

Hello Soeren, the sword is currently in Germany, so it is not an impossible task to ship it to Denmark, where you live. Inside the EU there are no custom fees to be paid. All the best Stefan

Final price reduction: 3900€ plus shipping and fees.

The new asking price is 4100€ plus shipping and fees.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. 4500€ is the asking price for everyone plus shipping and fees. It is nearly the same as $4800.

The asking price for potential buyers from the EU is 4500€ plus shipping and fees.

I reduce the asking price to $4800.

I know, but sadly this is not the first time that ebay.de cancelled one of my bladed articles due to their policies. This is absolutely nonsense on their side, but I can‘t do anything against it. The other issue with ebay.com couldn’t be resolved either. It was impossible for bidders outside the US to bid on the article, even German bidders were refused, although this sword is currently in Germany and I am a German citizen.

Besides ebay.de cancelled my offer, because it doesn’t allow blades longer than 12cm. This is such a nonsense. In what kind of idiocracy we live…

Now there are problems with the visibility of this article internationally using ebay.de. Nobody I called could help me to fix this problem. I will cancel this nonsense right now. Anyway I won‘t sell this sword under $5000. This price is a bargain.
