E-bay seller "artjapon"

[drbvac]

Has anyone had any dealings with this seller?

May as well answer my own inquiry now that I have! Bought a wak in mounts-1500 total, blade is a little loose in the saya, pics on e-bay are flattering, lacing very dirty, tsuba not as marked detail as in photos or rather becasaue it is small, hard to see. certainly as described. HAve to read entire listing very carefully - nearly bought kogatana for 150 till i realized it was 7 inches long with 4 inch blade

 

Blade itself is fine, no chips, polish good, seems nice - will post some pics of my own later

$25.00 shipping by EMS took 5 days- great packing -in fact cut my damn finger with box cutter getting rid of all bubble pack and cardboard!

 

Probably as good as most of them -better than alot - dont know where he accesses the nihonto - he also sells a lot of kimonos!

heres the link for others to know what your talking about, like you said for the price i think you did OK and it does match your Katana for a daisho look.
