GeorgeK Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Posted October 15, 2015 Thank you very much Klaus! I don't know, if I can post it in this thread, but I am thinking of selling this one (in order to getting funds for some gendaito), and I'd like a price advice. It comes in late war koshirae in a pretty decent condition. It is obviousely machine made with an artifical hamon. I saw few these at online shops going for about $1500, which seems rather high in my opinion for a nontraditionaly made blade. What would be the fair/realistic price for a sword like this? Quote
