right now, 8am EST (4 hours after your post about Gold Membership) the site seems very slow, i got a message that the site was too busy or unavailable. after 10 minutes of slow down it seems to be working a bit better, i will watch today mark -

yesterday it was VERY slow for me. took 5 mins for something that usually takes a second. seems better so far today -
my memory is not as good as Bobby's but didn't this sword sell at an auction at Heritage some years ago? I seem to remember buying some swords from that auction and seeing this one

i don't have a Fedex account. don't use them very often. I have received email and text invoices bit nothing in the mail yet

i bought a book from Japan last December. it was shipped and received in early Jan. Yesterday (4 1/2 months later) i received a bill for $53 from Fedex not sure the options, i already have the package but i guess i owe it but not sure why i am getting it now when i thought the SC threw out the charges mark

Ray and Moriyama - big thanks!! Must be a mental block, i know Sadaharu, had a sword by him before. I think with the damage my eye thought it saw Kiyo instread of Haru and then i got stuck on thet. I thought it looked Gassan school. Makes sense now, thanks again

i have a signed and dated katana that has a very distressed mei. My guess is Shinsinto maybe Gassan school. i think i see the maker is Sadakiyo but don't find a smith by that name that would match. The date is written like grass script and i cant make out the period, help with the mei and date greatly appreciated thanks mark

it was a nightmare. took a couple of weeks, i had to pay a bunch of fees and penalties and finally it was sent to the new owner. after that i decided not to to sell mounted swords out of the country
