The seller (sword on consignment) is open for reasonable offers...

This is a great deal for a buyer. I just paid more for something similar made a few years ago....and this has koshiare and is antique!

[flo06]

Thank you Michael for your comment.

Yes, it's really a great deal. The seller bought it 830 000 yen in Japan a few years ago  (bill for proof).

He needs money and hopes a quick sale. That's why he sells it at a price sold off...

Loving the size of this blade, very nice offering.

[flo06]

Thank you for your kind words Jeremiah.

To be honest, I don't understand why this sword isn't already sold. It's really a great deal at that price.

[Brian]

Agree with you...EU members should take note. Nice koshirae too.

[Verity]

Well I'd be eyeing this more closely if I just had not committed to a different piece.

[Valric]

It's very nice, its close to the price of making the koshirae and a touch up polish...  

 

A true bargain.

Thank you very much for your comments Brian, Adam and Chris.
