bdgrange Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 This listing is hard to believe. See for yourself. Listed as a Yasunori with minimal pictures. Another no history seller with dubious intentions. Tell me how to insert url and I will do so. Meantime look at item no. 270037056016 at e-bay. regards Bill Delagrange Quote
sencho Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 JUST COPY AND PASTE THE EMAIL ADDRESS OR TYPE IT IN AND IT WILL AUTOMATICALLYY MAKE A LINK CHEERS NIGEL Quote
Brian Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 ..Link even...or email address No code needed, just paste the link. Here is the link to this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0037056016 At least he could have credited Rich S for the info he cut and pasted I can't find the pics elsewhere..so can't call his intentions. Perhaps he does have it and is just an infrequent seller? But as always..ask for specific pics of certain parts and verify the item before buying. Brian Quote
David Flynn Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Unfortuneately, these scams go on all the time on ebay Quote
Brian Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Let's not call it a scam yet... low feedback isn't a true indication, and he does say he has additional pics. There are a few indicators such as posting his email address and possibly foreign syntax...but nothing concrete. Don't want us to tear the auction apart if there is a possibility it is just some new guy posting a sword he has had for a while. Unless we can find the pics on another site somewhere, all we can do is say take care and ask for more pics and info. A query about seeing it in person also does the trick sometimes. Brian Quote
sencho Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 he posted his phone number too..... anyone care to give him a shout? Quote
Henry Wilson Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 I sent an email asking for more pictures. I got them and I could not make them out so I have asked for more crisp ones if possible. The seller said he is beginning to think that it is not a Yasunori sword now. I have sent him a few links that illustrate Yasunori's siganture too. I will keep the board posted as things come up.

Henry Wilson Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 There has been an up date on the ebay post. On Oct-08-06 at 16:55:54 PDT, seller added the following information: It may not be a sword made by Kotani Kenzo. It is a old piece and it does have all the parts that make me believe it is made by Kotani but it may be a lot older making it someone else's creation. It does not have a signature like a lot of people believe it has to have in order to be authentic, which is not really true because not all swords have signatures. Sword does have numbers engraved into the metal of the handle part. Quote
