I don't mind driving to get to the right person if there is one in Florida. A friend told me he knew a guy in the St Petersburg/Clearwater area, but he passed away a few years ago.
Thanks for the help. I need to find some Choji oil. Could anyone the who reads Japanese be able to interpret or do I need to find a sword specialist? I don't know of any in my area north of Orlando but there may be.
Thanks again, I didn't get back to it yesterday.
My Dad always said it was from a Japanese Major. Once I get it apart, etc then I want to get an honest/accurate appraisal done. I probably should have it insured.
Thank you very much. I will be careful when I take it apart. I will have to see what I have to properly hold and clean it. Any suggestions on where to purchase the correct items would be appreciated.
