    Just blame the English, it is too complicated for us poor convicts in OZ

    Ah, so I can still send them emergency jars of Vegemite but not a box full .........................

    These two items have been listed on Invaluable for the past two years with silly reserves and the seller has them on other sites hoping that some moron will jump at the chance to buy them. He actually sold some of the other overpriced worn out stuff so he can probably sell ice to the Eskimos.
  4. Shuko
    That seller should use one of them to cut down the size of his greed or is he on drugs that we can only dream about

    Can anyone assist with this signature which is on an old heavy (120g) iron tsuba ? Probably made by an armourer.

    Gee Y2,710 plus handling and shipping is a bit rich ....................... If I buy her something nice she gets very suspicious and I am spending part of her inheritance, wasting money etc. Ideal cat tsuba would have the two cats fighting

    They should be passing legislation that states any politician in office around the world who has an IQ below 100 will be euthanased.

    I am planning a trip to southern Japan and was wondering if anyone has a list of antique shops or fairs/markets where they sell Nihonto. Even your experience looking or buying there or where to find the Kyushu shop links would be helpful. thanks

    I want to know what drugs they issue to The Lanes Armoury staff or are they having a contest to see which one of them can conjure up the most absurd article on a fireman's hook.

    A bit concerning

    Shuko replied to Steves87's topic in Tosogu

    Dale and I email each other quite often and he has been a great tsuba teacher to me. I think he is having pc and isp issues; he recently swapped his isp. My intuition tells me he is ok but the equipment has failed big time. Unfortunately he does not have a mobile phone but that is his choice in this modern tech world.

    You told me that you made them .......................................

    How did they manage to get 8 real tsuba to auction ? Must have been their lucky client day.
  17. Shuko
    A true "miracle" happened at that PO..........................
  18. Shuko
    For me it is a tsuba with character and obvious use (not workshop inflicted "age" chisel or punch marks) e.g. the "spirit" that Dale mentions above. Patina and the shape are very important to me and more often than not I prefer the cheaper shakudo tsuba with a brass rim (fukurin). The staggering diversity of what has been made means everyone will find something that appeals to them, whether they can afford it is another matter.

    Powerball better be good to me this Thursday night, I like to buy tanto.
  22. Shuko
    Thanks for the help. According to Dale this is a rare 3 crane tsuba. I too initially thought it was a 2 crane tsuba.
  23. Shuko
    Does this help ?
  24. Shuko
    Could someone please translate this signature for me. It is on an old iron 3 crane tsuba. Thanks
