I just shipped a sword to a member in sweden via USPS priority and it took a minute but it arrived. -
Chinese.. Typical tsuka ito and crude fittings, then you have the blade

Could anyone help with Saya translation please.
Jiro49 replied to Stegel's topic in Translation Assistance
Thats what I noticed as well when it was on ebay.. I asked the seller about the yakidashi but never received a reply? -
Sounds like a very pleasant person Just goes to show he knows how full of shi& he is....
-
Very nice! I really like the daito. Thanks for sharing.

I love the part where he states that this blade is worth more than his entire collection

This deserves the spotlight for a minute. Anyone have 19k they can loan me? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Japanes ... 1064861770 I hope you were as entertained as I was! Gomen,

Any opinion on the mei? One character looks like an upside down 8 (hachi)...?

Hello, I've recently purchased a few things from winners and I was required to have a Japanese bank account as well..

Sir grey Thank you for the oshigata! Fujishiro's oshigata raises questions for me regarding the mei but the second is closer. Does anyone know of any "tells" regarding his mei? Regards,

Sir, thank you. There were not any red flags for me but I have no examples to go by, so your comment is appreciated!

Hello, I can find any examples of the shodai morimichi, so I just wanted to get opinions.. Thank you!

Mark is 100% correct. Paypal sides with the buyer in every case. When I asked ,a manager at paypal about their policy the flat out said it wasn't fair to the seller.. Good luck..

Honjo masamune found...on YouTube?

I'm confused the example is shinogi-zukuri but the "actual" sword looks to be hira-zukuri...? Is he just trying to show a resemblance between them? Wishful thinking. -
Thank you sir....!

Just curious if anyone can tell me who issued the origami on this sword? It doesn't look like the nthk, a smaller group? Btw, I have no intention of bidding on this. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... 0971794695 Regards,

Since the Taima school has been brought up several times, I'm curious if anyone has examples from the oei period? Regards,

My friend gave me 3 swords to sell for him, which I will list here shortly. I wanted to see if anybody had oshigata for this smith. Just FYI, if they sell a donation will be made to the board so your effort will help us all out! Regards,

In all fairness and a little off topic but a lot of Koreans are involved in organized crime in Japan even in the Yakuza. I havnt met any Korean bozuzoku but I'm sure they're there as well. But back to the swords, we had a older woman contact us saying her late husband had items from the war and wanted them returned. It was a skull, a diary and a sword, we didn't accept the sword...

Food for thought, an old co-worker from gaimusho sold his family sword because they thought it was cursed....! Both he and his brother were injured in the same spot and they somehow attributed it the the sword? Different strokes I guess..:-)

Makes sense.. I may have an Owari habaki after all... Thank you gentlemen for the insight!

So the shakudo/gold isn't a prerequisite for Owari habaki? Thanks again!
