Stephen Posted January 20, 2020 Author Report Posted January 20, 2020 They are for me Bill brought back by marine raider with war story Quote
george trotter Posted January 20, 2020 Report Posted January 20, 2020 A good maker Stephen, well thought of in WWII and also post war...only died c. 1996? I have always searched for one for my collection but never found one...only had one in hand. His usual work is in Bizen style with active choji/gonome/saka choji hamon,.also suguba, but of course usually plainer and shorter in Gunto style. (I prefer his gunto work but you already know I'm weird Stephen).. Be nice if you could maybe get your friend to do a pic of the hamon etc? Your friend is lucky IMHO. Regards, 1 Quote
Stephen Posted January 20, 2020 Author Report Posted January 20, 2020 Not a close friend just FBer who asked for help...he collects Marines Raiders. I think he shot himself in the foot by a offer of 4000 smackaroos Not knowing the vaule. Causing owner to say hey i may have something here. the vets story in 40s newspaper clipping adding providence Quote
george trotter Posted January 21, 2020 Report Posted January 21, 2020 Mmmm...4000 eh. Well, I know I like the examples I have seen, but not that much. Wonder where these heart-stopping prices come from. Oh well, back to reality land... Quote
