  1. Does the paper say anything about what year or what rating?
  2. If there’s anyone out there who could take a look at this for me, I would greatly appreciate it
  3. So I want to thank everyone for your responses. Unfortunately the auction house didn’t budge, I refused to pay and they flagged my account with Bidsquare. I won’t be able to participate in any more auctions with Bidsquare. Lesson learned. No big loss if they won’t protect their members. As for the auction house… BUYER BEWARE!!!! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH TENMOKU AUCTIONS OF FAIRFIELD, NJ!!! THEY MISREPRESENTED A LOT AND REFUSED TO DO THE RIGHT THING IN THE FACE OF MOUNTING EVIDENCE OF THEIR MISREPRESENTATION!!! …my search continues…
  4. Ken, this is GREAT! Thank you very much! I’m still learning where all the resources are in this forum, realizing how much I DONT know and already learning a lot. This will definitely help!
  5. @nickm, do you have any books you would recommend? I definitely would like to learn more!
  6. Fortunately, I only paid a WWII sword price…I really appreciate everyone’s support. Great community!
  7. I’m afraid you’re right about their rider. I am going to call them tomorrow. I’m not necessarily after a 17th century sword, I’m just a casual collector. That being said, this experience does make me want to learn more about Nihonto and possibly becoming a more educated collector. It does make me wonder, however, how they could have been 300 years off. Seems fairly blatant. I will be interested to hear why they listed it as 17th century…
  8. Thank you, sir. I suppose it’s still a piece of history, though not as old as what they claimed. It’s honestly a little embarrassing. I probably shouldn’t bid on lots I don’t know enough about to spot a false or misleading description…I’ll do my homework next time.

  10. Thanks for the reply. That’s not exactly the news I was hoping for, but I appreciate it. It was advertised at auction as considerably older…
  11. Can anyone identify these markings? Any guidance would be very much appreciated.
