This is sold. Thank you

Kind of weird to have things go in for shinsa in June, and then I'm told the items won't be returned until maybe October? Anybody else told that?

I would say pay a bit more and get something with new NBTHK papers... This is sketchy

^

1500 for something decent with good nbthk papers is .... impossible

Nanbokucho ^ bump

Still can't really see the hamon that well. Thanks for trying to get more pictures of it. How about under bright sunlight or under a bright light? Let the light reflect down the blade and then try to capture it

Great setup! Can we see closeups of the hamon?

^

Need a much clearer picture of the certificate than that. Didn't know Japanese Army made gunto for kikuchi yari (lol)

Anything ever come of this?

Still available but likely selling offsite soon

Bump
