  1. I just sent my splitting shirasaya to John TIRADO.
  2. Yes, I saw the wrong typing. Don't think I can correct it in the title.
  3. Hi, Posting here on behalf of a friend who recently acquired this tsuba. Not being a tosogu guy myself, may you please share your feelings and expertises about this one? Many thanks.
  4. Chronopost or Colissimo international?
  5. Nihonto Tanren Denshujo group, great sword. Most of the tosho from this smithing school are top end.
  6. That looks like this one. I was aware of the final price... I forwarded the link of this thread to my friend so that he can follow the discussion. Thanks all.
  7. Hi, I post this on behalf of a friend, as I know very little on tsuba in general. He bought it recently and could not find a similar example yet. Any info regarding, age, school, style etc, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
  8. Does that mean shinshinto, gendaito or shinsakuto are too recent to get Juyo papers, or none of them were submitted?
  9. Shall you provide smith name at least.
  10. DHL like Fedex or CHRONOPOST (France) and others big logistics companies have their own customs clearance services. They earn a very small percentage of money on each item their customs services clear. That is why they always/often charges you import taxes. Public companies like USPS in the USA or LA POSTE in France do not care to make profit, so they rarely charge you import taxes if you have already paid them on Ebay or others sellers. It is a known problem here in France that has been published several times in the press, but nobody seems to care enough to make things change.
  11. Hi, If someone has its twin, please let me know in PM. Pine three pattern if I am not wrong. Thanks
  12. Hello, I am looking for a shinsakuto with a 84/85 cm nagasa. It can be mounted in iaido koshirae, shirasaya or bare blade. Most likely it would a shinsakuto that was used by a martial artist for iai or tameshigeri. It must be traditionally made and signed by a licenced smith and dated. No forging flaw or slag. Broadly speaking, a modern sword with a long nagasa, not necessarily by a well known smith as long as decently made and in fair condition. contact by mp Thanks
