John A Stuart Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 On the 18th is the Sothebys auction in Paris. It has a few swords for sale. I was looking through the catalog and the prices show the down turn in the world market. The prices are really reasonable. Just a heads up for those looking for a sword. John Quote
nihonto1001 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 John, Do they have an online catalog? Jon Quote
John A Stuart Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Posted December 16, 2008 http://browse.sothebys.com/?&cat=1&even ... rks+Of+Art Check lots 280-305. John Quote
DirkO Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 Nice list, especially the Sukehiro with the cutting test appeals to me - and very reasonably estimated at 5-7K€ Is there a way to see the prices realised after the auction ? (not now obviously, but will they be available online or something ?) Quote
pcfarrar Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 Nice list, especially the Sukehiro with the cutting test appeals to me - and very reasonably estimated at 5-7K€ The nakago is in poor condition and looks a bit like fire scale. Also I think its gimei. Quote
DirkO Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 Hmm at the bottom it says both koshirae and blade are accompagnied by a Daishoji Temple certificate ? Any idea what that might be ? Quote
