pcfarrar Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 Muromachi nio school wakizashi signed Kiyotsugu in a set of tiger themed koshirae. In David Hofhine polish, very nice blade! Starting on ebay tonight at 8pm GMT from £1. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=270028530529 Quote
Minister Amos Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 Just noticed that the auction is in POUNDS! How quickly drunk people can bid double what they meant to :D Quote
Brian Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 :D I think someone else on this board just posted how they also won a sword by bidding in $'s instead of £'s. Must happen often. Brian Quote
kusunokimasahige Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 i find it a hideous sword anyway......... :lol: KM Quote
Minister Amos Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Somebody sure does like those tigers! I was kind of expecting a big flurry of bids at close but it looks like the snipers got blown out early on this one. Nice Sale Peter! I suspect we'll be seeing LOTS more items from you? Quote
kusunokimasahige Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Let me explain my opinion.... the tigers are nice! the saya is hideous (personal opinion and taste) the blade i dont like at all since i find it too much like damasceners, even though of course it will be real... and i am happy for you you sold it! best wishes, KM Quote
pcfarrar Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Posted September 24, 2006 The sword belonged to my brother. Had to sell it to fund the purchase of a new gendaito katana. The fittings were very nice, the fuchi was signed with a big name, I forget who but we always assumed it was gimei. The tsuba was also very nice, I wish I'd kept it. The saya was a bit flashy, but its unique :lol: Quote
kusunokimasahige Posted September 24, 2006 Report Posted September 24, 2006 Well peter, the tsuba indeed was very beautiful too! I like the MON!! KM Quote
