I have no Flipping idea who these people are posting the video stuff...yes sword to a lucky person ! Fred Sword good utube and video not so good

Sorry to everyone on the site, I cant take it ...................why do people think they have to say stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, facts people facts , who gives a crap about here say, maybes, could be, well I am not for sure , I have no clue what I am talking about BUUUUUT...... here is my guess to something i know nothing about.....again please give me examples of faking a $650.00 gun show sword ...yes that was the price in the 1970. Faking a great Juyo Bizen blade for 35K yes !! hell it still happens today Cant we take this truly outstanding and impressive educational group of collectors up a few notches so everyone here can learn and move forward in....wait here is the big word…..".knowledge" ok I am done thank you to all for my rant Thank you Fred

Ed I only say things here in "……." in for points of comment and ZERO against you..... when you allow misinformation or made up information and you have nothing good that comes from this...… my points below

yes I agree I did post for comments and also did post in the for sale section at the same time I ask though if a comment is made please also post the reason with NBTHK examples for your comments of concern for education not just "well I think" as we all have them but if not proven they are just fiction comments not educational notes for all to be better and smarter which the reason for this site as I understand it please post your examples so we may see others to study the mei Fred

All, this came from a old collection and have been setting in storge for 12 years after the passing and 30 years of collecting , the reciept that was attached this sword was bought in 1972 I do not believe alot of faking was going on then for what these sold for then. The reason it was posted on the site was to show collectors here a great sword, NEIL …...NOT EVERYTHING IS A SCAM !!! I will 100 percent guarantee this sword will paper if sent to the NBTHK or I will refund the papers cost with sword price if returned in the same condition. Fred

David, i would not say anything on something like this but i think i have to and ….FYI you have hit me personally also, so when i started everyone was a ass that i asked questions to ...zero internet ....zero books just the old timers and i got nothing only stuiped looks so now with a group like this.…. it is great !!!!!! tons of ideas and comments to the point ....this hobby/study you learn every day. if you think you are the smartest person in the room "group" then you are in the wrong room, trust me I know a lot but I know nothing to others everyday in this hobby is going to school and learning.... so get out your note book and learn. last thing my grandfather said a lot …….the ones who keep talking don't have time listen Fred

All, not in the hand maybe looks good at 5 feet but then grab a 5x loop find under cuts find chisel marks the base of the tsuba has nothing no life ! again another watch out..... alot of fakes and the stamping is the base of the best out there

I did buy one but it was 15.00 for the stamped tsuba Fred

was 10 years or so at the Louisville gun show guy had a stack of these 15 or so that are reproductions stamped like a coin he sold them as stamped I think at 20.00 each Fred

tony privite me what you are looking for can bring it and keep it in my carry bag for you to look at Fred

ted tenold has a super rare early namban set for sale on his site for your study you should take a look Fred

Not a truer statement made, even with Omori once you have seen the best "my above list" and study in hand the finest of detail the weight and depth of the skill they had in metal is just over the top and very hard to copy as noted by Chris. Come on Pete the negativity Fred

we all get tsuba we like ..not to go juyo... but the original was best smiths "rating" Omori is gone you are to late was a very good tsuba...but Darcy has that a lot ! Fred

by the way these are not in my order, all of these if made by the master can go Juyo Fred

All, OK here are the boys I am after ...put them in your order !
