Swords

Thanks to all for your help I agree Conway it’s interesting the tsuka an saya are lacquered According to the seller the sword doesn’t fit in the saya and he doesn’t know why? My guess there not compatible I thought it would be a buying opportunity but don’t think so now It’s still listed on EBay if anyone’s interested Steve

Any help with translation would be appreciated thank you Steve

Any one interested in buying PayPal friends and family It’s xxx (redacted) for shipping and insurance Not bad for a 300 year old signed samurai sword with a beautiful blade in excellent condition Steve

You’re right Brian I just get tired of being attacked We should be more courteous to one another

Amen brother

Now you have 3 down votes one more we’re tied

Hokke Now you have 2 down votes Your catching up to me

Thanks for pointing that out Hokke Dramatic ? It amazes how some people need to point out others misfortunes Thanks Dr Oz

I think I have the most down votes for anyone on the forum 4 down votes are a bit much Losing a potential buyer got to me

Firstly I want to apologize to Vajo I overreacted because I had another member who was interested In buying it and let my Irish temper get the best of me I rearranged the seppas in order largest near the tsuba and in order I noticed the habaki wasn’t flush which was part of the problem I straightened it best I could I think it’s better than it was Thanks for everyone’s help Here's a photo

I don’t mean to get upset I had a member that wanted to buy my sword Anyway it should be a quick fix Nothing wrong with the sword Steve

Yes I see I need to arrange them it a better order. Steve

Please keep your negative comments to yourself It’s the angle of the photo I took

Hi John I didn’t think that would be an issue but you’re probably right! I was worried it would turn off potential buyers But better to be up front I guess Lots of work getting seppas to fit poking myself twice making leather seppas and cutting a menuki I wouldn’t have done it without the help from others so thanks to all for the tip Yes it is a nice sword Blade is it great shape for an EDO era sword and Yes I’m selling it if anybody’s interested Steve

I agree with everyone badly shaped kissaki Totally trashed A example of a bad sword run don’t look back
