Gunto Collection Sale

[Shamsy]

Good morning all,

 

I've decided to part with most of my collection of Imperial Japanese Army swords. I've sold a few through eBay and the like, but am offering them here at a significantly lower price, since I'll not have to fork out nearly 15% in fees. Some of these swords are below what I paid for them. Trying to keep these as a bundle deal, since that will be cheaper for everyone.

 

Selling in Aus is easy for logistics, but I'm happy to discuss with our American friends if you're interested.

 

Type 98 officers sword (field saya)

Type 3 officers sword

Type 97 Naval sword

Type 98 Manchurian sword

Type 97 Naval sword (Landing Forces?)

Army mounted wakizashi

Army parade Sabre (Major, Lt Col, Col pattern)

 

$9,500 Aus for the lot, about $7,000 USD and we'll have to figure out postage.

 

Full description and photos can be supplied if anyone is interested. Otherwise I just have to tell my partner I tried!

all seki forged? family blades?

No gendaito here I'm afraid, Seki and other arsenal blades.

Gday Steve, some info and pics should help spark some interest. Good luck and happy new year.

Good afternoon and happy new year all,

 

Here are the listing from eBay, I made a mistake on the above the NMB asking price. It should be $8,500 Aus or $6,200 US. I have a little wiggle room on the package but most of these are at cost or below already:

I've tried to highlight every possible defect honestly, but as a result these are much better than they sound. The Type 98 is not yet listed but is part of the deal, so I've attached the photo.
