Brian Posted October 12, 2020 Report Posted October 12, 2020 Tang doesn't have me convinced it has any age, and as for the "Islamic writing" I think this is a glorified Rorschacht test. Quote
Bazza Posted October 12, 2020 Author Report Posted October 12, 2020 Thanks Brian - my opinion exactly. Somewhere I have an article that discusses modan yanone. I might even have put it up here sometime. I'll see if I can find it, but don't hold your breath!!! BaZZa. Quote
ROKUJURO Posted October 12, 2020 Report Posted October 12, 2020 The SUKASHI writing in the YAJIRI is Japanese SOSHO (grass script). I have never heard about an Oriental market for Japanese arrow tips. Quote

Brian Posted October 12, 2020 Report Posted October 12, 2020 OUCH. @Bazza Care to share that with your buddy to inform the auction house? Would be dishonest for them to proceed. Quote
Bazza Posted October 13, 2020 Author Report Posted October 13, 2020 Brian, My mate "in the trade" is a straight up and down good bloke and was calling it out - its not the auction house he works for. I'll take it upon myself to see that the auction house concerned is made aware of the fact. Thank you all for backing the call. BaZZa. 1 Quote
