Mark and I have been busy.

[Grey Doffin]

Hi guys,

My business partner Mark Jones and I have recently taken in a large collection of swords and I have been listing some to my website. Yesterday I put up a fine Jumonji Yari (in polish) and I just finished listing a long katana (75.6 cm) with Tokubetsu Hozon paper, signed Echizen no Kami Minamoto Sukehiro (Tsuda Sukehiro).

And there is more to come: some very nice pieces (a large shinsakuto gifted to a Sumo star and a fine daito from the Bizen Kozori School with wonderful itomaki no dachi koshirae come to mind). All are in polish and most have papers. There are good swords for entry level (beginners) also: quality work that won't break the bank.

If you have a minute have a look and please keep checking back; I'll be listing more in the next few days.

Stay well, Grey

Adam,

One man's odd duck is another man's Common Booby. Best to watch my site. Grey

Hi guys,

Just listed an Omi Yari on my site; this is the last of the blades for now. Tonight or tomorrow I plan to get at a pile of kodogu: most are tsuba (a few are quite fiine) but I have 2 fuchi kashira, 2 kotsuka, and a pair of menuki also.

Sales have been good. Thank you, Grey
