  11. "Do you know what the HS Tariff code is for Antique katanas ? It’s for customs and I have no idea where or how to find this" - seller have no idea how to ship. Anyone from Kanada and have any experience with sending antiques across the sea?
  12. Have offer for this for 500 euro. Would like your opinion on this possibility. https://www.catawiki.com/pl/l/95160885-stojak-drewno-zloto-bardzo-fine-kake-z-kabuto-i-sprzetem-luczniczym-w-designie-maki-e-japonia
  13. But why there are no markings on nakago? Stamp only gunto?
  14. Really good packaging. Sword better then photos. I will try to gather all info about akihide in one article. There is a lot ambiguity about his aprenticeship. Gunto koshirae really was made for this sword. Sheath-in going like train on tracks.

  16. looks like:

  20. Whats your opinion mr Bruce?
  21. It dsnt look like 5k$
  22. Blade was auctioned. Dunno if we should discuss price that someone wanted to pay. Definietly not in "to big/to small" manner. More like how big to notice.
