    Makes sense, Rivkin. I was just curious. All of the replies have been very helpful--thanks, everyone.

    As the title suggests, I am wondering where people buy higher-end nihonto. Thinking or tire-kicking a spend over $10K. Where do you shop?
  3. Winchester
    Thanks for your feedback and I look forward to other opinions as well. What do you suppose value to be?
  4. Winchester
    Thank you in advance for your feedback and expert commentary. I really have no clue what the value is. I like it a lot.

    Friends, I am hopeful you can help this new collector. I have a friend who is offering me this tanto for sale. It is mumei; sorry for the confusion. The quality seems to be exceptional. Do you have a sense of the value? We are trying to determine a fair price and I have no clue, neither does he. Any additional information? The thought was it may be Osoraku. Edit: IT IS MUMEI SORRY FOR MISTAKE. More pictures to follow. Thanks for your help.

    My mistake, sorry it has been a busy week. I will send you a private message momentarily.

    Has the nakago been polished? Feel free to PM me. Thanks in advance. Edit: Sorry please disregard due to item location. Being new to the hobby, I am presently only buying within US.

    When I am feeling better, I will try to get more high-resolution photos. I really tried to do different angles and such without a light box and additional lighting, but see now that I will need to. I just plain like it so it is more an intellectual pursuit, as usual, versus trying to make money or something. To me, it is beautiful, not a reproduction and I am honored to own it.

    Jean, can you click on the above image and magnify? This is the clearest I have been able to get.
  14. Winchester
    Here are a couple more pictures of the signature; should this not allow for an answer, I will put in a photo box and add additional lighting. Thank you in advance, I really appreciate it and will make a donation to the forum for identification. I am trying to catch the light, just right, so I don't have to bring out the light box and specialized lighting.

    Would it help if I tried to get better close up pictures of the signature?
  16. Winchester
    Jumonji Yari is really nice. I didn't pick it up and handle, but was 'tire kicking' a purchase a few times through. Glad you got it!
  17. Winchester
    I think it is really cool or nice. Thank you for sharing

    Should it be worth considerable more then I paid, I have his business card and will give him a few more dollars and this forum to say thanks.

    Just noticed eyes on both sides have a dot of gold...
  21. Winchester
    Just realized the reverse side is signed.......I honestly just bought it fairly quick and did not inspect to close owing to price and having bought other pieces from the seller at the show. Struck me as a very stand-up guy or honest. I just like dragons in fittings is why I bought it. In trying to take better photos now, I realized it is signed. Translation help and year would be great. I was just having fun, really and learning.
  22. Winchester
    Thank you for your feedback. I'll try to get better photos tonight; it was just not focusing well.
  23. Winchester
    Sorry my photos are not the best. Laid against microfiber cloth after choji oil.
  24. Winchester
    Please let me know. I paid $130.00 I believe, I just like it. Two dragons and a pearl, I believe.
  25. Winchester
    Got to meet Mark and Grey so far; really nice people and Mark gave me a really good price on a fitting; that was very kind. Thank you, Sir. Lots of great stuff to see and people to network with to learn more. Tomorrow there are some presentations that I am looking forward to.
