paul griff Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Nice example of a NCO sword with matching numbers complete with original knot .This is a genuine sword that would be a good example to start out your collection..Numbers are matching ,knot is original and not too brittle..Has an unusual locking strap attached which matches the strap...£725.U.K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul griff Posted July 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hello JP, Thank you for the reply...I will check the weight and postage rates when I get home from work...If anyone in the U.K is reading this and has recently posted a sword to France any advice would be appreciated..

francois2605 Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 I think there should be no issue posting a sword from UK to France since both countries are (still) part of "the 27". From what I read recently, as long as the sword is described as an antique item, there's nothing special to do import-wise. Things seem to be different for non-antique items. I recently sent a wakizashi to UK and didn't have to file any paperwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kissakai Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hi Paul I wasn't sure who to ask about something I know very little about and can't find out much on the internet of the Gregory bookI was asked to look at some Japanese swords from a deceased collector from his wife. He passed away 10 years ago.I thought I may be able to sell them on her behalf.Descriptions:1875/14 - Japanese Army officers sabre. Two swords. Not hand made but in good condition. Both around £2001883/05 Pat. Japanese Naval sword. One sword. Not hand made, in good condition although the say has broken but this has not damaged the outer covering. Around £375 I like the Navy sword so I may keep it for myself I think these may have gone up in price over the last few years I have some poor camera phone images I could send you With thanks Grev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul griff Posted August 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hello Grev, To be honest I don’t know a great deal about the pre-1930’s military mounted Japanese swords but do have a friend who I can ask..If you send the photo’s I will show him ( if you need my email send me a personal message with yours and I can reply and add photo’s if need be...I’m not the best with computers..! )...The swords priced at about £200 should be no problem, the 1883 may indeed be a more interesting piece and again seems a fair price...If there is no luck with the photo’s I will hopefully going to the next Birmingham arms fair ... Regards, Paul... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
