Stephen Posted January 11, 2022 Author Report Posted January 11, 2022 Think most were stored in wet basement. Some serious restoration projects there but bids are real low so hope some are saved. 1 Quote
Lareon Posted January 11, 2022 Report Posted January 11, 2022 yeah they've all been treated like crap but if the price is low i'll most likely grab a couple and give them some love the fire damaged one hurts 1 Quote
Stephen Posted January 11, 2022 Author Report Posted January 11, 2022 If i have saved at least one Gendaito or Mantetsu my work is done. 2 Quote
Stephen Posted January 11, 2022 Author Report Posted January 11, 2022 Or one of ya could have bragging rights saying yeah I own a Kiyomaro....lol Quote
Brian Posted January 11, 2022 Report Posted January 11, 2022 That is a MASSIVE auction! 5700 lots. Some of the guns and knives... Hey...I've got one of these! https://kraftauctions.hibid.com/lot/108924228/meiji-era-gassan-sadakazu-samurai-katana-sword/?cat=3183&cpage=35&q=&ref=catalog I think someone was churning them out during wartime or just after. Anyways, there is some nice stuff there. https://kraftauctions.hibid.com/catalog/268201/45th-anniversary-antique-and-collectible-auction---weekend--1/ 1 Quote

Stephen Posted January 12, 2022 Author Report Posted January 12, 2022 Anyone bidding let me know so we won't be bidding on same lot. Quote
rebcannonshooter Posted January 13, 2022 Report Posted January 13, 2022 Hey Stephen, thanks for posting this auction info. I'm bidding on lot 1436 it looks like a diamond in the rough (or more likely a diamond in the very very rough) Thanks again and good luck on what ever you bid on, Tom 1 Quote
Stephen Posted January 13, 2022 Author Report Posted January 13, 2022 Tom you're a courageous man that's quite the project hope you win so we can see the end results. Quote
vajo Posted January 13, 2022 Report Posted January 13, 2022 Looks like every of these sword where threat with sandpaper. Sad. Quote
Cookie_Monstah47 Posted January 14, 2022 Report Posted January 14, 2022 Hi Stephen and others, I was looking at lot #1444 but the missing tang and broken tip have me feeling a little wozzy. I'm not sure if it's worth restoring. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Best, Khalid Quote
Stephen Posted January 14, 2022 Author Report Posted January 14, 2022 K hal For the current price id say its worth a shot. Kissaki can be fixed guess ill go look again for missing tang??? 1 Quote
