any examples of his mei? The workmanship and materials seems quite different for examples online. Most have no signature too.

I think that would be an insult to the weeds...

HI Dan... thanks. This one does have Koshirae too, albeit needing attention. Will take more pics next week on my return. It's not for sale, a friend in my home village popped these out of the woodwork.

I'm back in UK next week to I will pop over and take pics of the Koshirae. It does have complete set, but most parts need attention too. Will post pics on this thread when I get back there.

HI Brian, Thanks! Yes there have been quite a lot of gallivanting in the last few years!! Nothing better than a good gallivant. Yes was found in the wakizashi scabbard but the tanto scabbard also has a slot Kanji seems to be 乗真 Jyoshin or Norizane ???

Does anyone know anything about the rules for transporting from US to UK in check in luggage?

Its interesting as its in quite genuine tosogu all cobbled together with this lump of junk. I tend to agree on the Chinese attribution. Weird that this crapper is with what seems to be other genuine Japanese pieces. I guess the person that had it just knew nothing.

yeah its pretty ugly

Last one is katana size. Looks like a gunto crapper to me. Thanks again all.

This is a wakazashi sized sword. Thanks in advance for any opinions.

This is the tanto - first of the 3 swords any opinions welcome. Thanks in advance

Hello all after a long time A friend contacted me that he had some swords that he did not know anything about and wondered if I could take a look There are 3 swords and small knife which is interesting, and I will make 1 post for each so pics don't get mixed up. Here is the knife Thanks in advance

I just heard from Claire that she has reached an agreed price with one person for all the books. Therefore the sale is currently on hold while this goes through. Thanks for the other emails and apologies if you have not been replied to yet. If for some reason the sale is not completed, Claire will be in touch. Regards Nigel.

by the way if someone offers Claire around $2,500 (half price), she'll probably sell the whole bloody lot!

Hello all... Happy New Year. Getting on for a year an a half since I posted this sale and have now had a minute to look at this again! I have not sold any of these books.... been far too busy with business... Will sell individually. Am now back in Florida for a week and have left all of these with my assistant at my S. Florida office while I head off travelling again. Please email Claire if you want to buy anything. (They are gumming up her office so she wants them gone!) ***additional there is a pile of To-Ron Northern California Newsletters that will be included with the Florida Token Kai lot. Anything left at the end of January will go on ebay. Cheers
