tokashikibob Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 Came in the mail today, from the online pics which showed no nakago I took a flyer due to the tsuka having the remnants of fine silk ito and the tsuba looked better than ordinary. Soo, the handle was on tight and when I got it off..... Sugoi, both the wak and tsuba were signed. Tsuba has some extraordinary gold inlay rim work. Best regards, Bob 5 Quote
Ian B3HR2UH Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 I had a think about this one Bob but the Aussie dollar is hopeless now and I just didn't get around to it . Glad you wound up with it . What this does show, I think, is that there are still good interesting things out there for people who are prepared to beat the bushes and use their eye . Of course those who cant recognize quality ( and there seem to be a lot of them ) will be wasting their time doing this . Well done Ian Brooks Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 Ian's right, Bob, & now is the time to start looking for bargains, as people panic & sell things off. Good show. Quote
tokashikibob Posted March 12, 2020 Author Report Posted March 12, 2020 Thanks for the comments, the blade actually cleaned up pretty good as the solid discoloration was some sort of old dried out lube. Quote
