It looks like this thread was removed And it should be Too much negativity and sarcasm

Dam I already paid 200.00 for one on EBay but it’s said sold out wow Price was 25.00 thanks Mark

Thanks Stephen aI just bought a Jim Dawson book 200.00 I thing some else got one for 175.00 I think when we post something someone here else buys it I lost 2 swords I posted

Question any one knows about custom taxes when buy a sword from France paid by pp FF

Thanks Bruce I appreciate your help Steve

Is this one of the books you mentioned Swords of Imperial Japan 1868-1945 by Jim Dawson military reference book

I agree especially these common stainless ones I just lost the one that sold back to square one I would have paid extra for that one Dang

If it’s still for sale I will buy it since I was offered ist steve

I agree I don’t know why I asked about price when I already know it’s value I don’t trust my decisions Thanks John

That’s a lot of books And are expensive 175 for the Dawson jon slough cost me 250.00 but it’s worth it

I need help with the value since it’s stainless is it worth 2500? I’m thinking more Like 1600

I should have clarified the book is Swords of Imperial Japan 1868-1945 For Sale by the Author Japanese Sword book by Jim Dawson 175.00 on EBay

Yes it’s on EBay for 175.00 Is that a good price ?

Now I have been looking for a WW2 Japanese navy there is a stainless with signature and anchor stamped I couldn’t use help with price He wants 2500 which I believe is a little pricey I can send pictures ?

Great I have the craft of Japanese swords I have been meaning to buy the The Conisseurs guide; Facts and Fundermentals; I think I will start with Dawson since it’s on eBay And Conisseurs if I can find it somewhere great help thanks Now I hav a couple of books to start with

Dawson fuller and Gregory are the the same or 2 different books im going to check Amazon maybe are there thanks for the tip

Just curious how many people on this forum think they need to read more books???

I thought this was a place to have discussions? It started on a positive note than went back to the old sarcasm thrown in my face again I know I need to read more books I don’t need to be told a hundred times ! About the babbling I wasn’t pointing fingers at any one specific person so I apologize for that I did save money so I appreciate that I probably shouldn’t have brought up Trump but was merely pointing out that the world is messed up and we need a president who can lead us in the right direction in this New Year ! Your right Trump is deranged but that’s not what you meant I had mentioned earlier about looking for a WW2 Navy sword but got side tracked with My last sword! I can’t find Any other Navy on the auction site Or any other swords Only discussions Which I think shouldn’t be in the auction site just my opinion Steve

Thanks Brian I did see a WW2 navy sword on EBay looks older not signed but it’s definitely not stainless the mounts are beautiful I see nicks here and there and the wrapping looks cut near the Tsuba I would post it but I don’t want to get more criticism by the babbling Critics On a good note have a happy new year Peace and good will Hopefully we will have a better year in our world ! There is too much hate ! We need a new president that will lead us in the right direction as long as it’s not trump! Than can kiss our country good by!!

Will try thanks for the tip Know anyone that has a nice WW2 Navy sword Gendaito in excellent condition ? Seem impossible to find one I tried auction but no luck

I did not pay friend s & family or dose that matter?

Looking for a WW2 Japanese Navy sword Gendaito Or older a preferably a known smith $3000-4000

Good info Colin still best to Have it pass shinsa or paypers especially when you’re looking to spend alot of cash on a well known smith

So the dealer was kind enough to refund me but pp kept me fee’s Now any thing pricey by a known smith has to have papers or passed shinsa I read the description over again and it did say signed and made by the smith ! not that in matters now I have been looking for quite some time before I got side tracked with that sword! A WW2 Japanese Navy Gendaito Or older Has to be I good condition No nicks or any other issues price 3000-4000 I have tried the auction but no luck I do appreciate everyone’s help to take time with my sword As they say shame on me twice my damm fault ! Any way have a happy New Year! Maybe gold coins?? I would probably buy a fake one Steve

I can see see why shinsa is so important I do appreciate everyone’s feed back So I will leave it at that!
