So They Are Still Out There...


Recommended Posts

Talking to a retired Police officer in a bar in Cuzco,as ya do brought up the subject and of course he had a shin gunto trophy sword at home in London. That turned out to be a duff one but a great story all the same,today I get an email from an old friend with some pic's of what seems to be a decent Wakizashi.  Owned by some old chap in the midlands who has been quoted a value of £600 by  some dealer, the question to me is  was this a decent price which I cannot answere as have been out of the market for quite a while.  Looking at the poor pictures I would have guessed perhaps twice that?....your help on this would be appreciated.

The old boy has decided that it will be an investment when restored for his Grand children,so have advised on how to go about it carefully.  Seems that the man who quoted the value was in fact not a dealer but someone who should have and did know better!,no names but .......
