Bazza Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 Mark, Can we see pictures of the koshirae please??? Regards, Barry Thomas. Quote
Mark C Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Posted September 27, 2009 Hi Barry, No koshirae with the sword, if fact the sword is in a sorry state being the lower half of a katana and basically worthless. As you can see from the pic it has been well butchered with a grinder or something, Still I only paid £20 for it as a mei translation excercise. All the best Mark Quote
Brian Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 ...Still I only paid £20 for it as a mei translation excercise. Here on the NMB, those are usually free. :lol: Still..I guess you can feel free to alter it and make some metalworking tools or something. Brian Quote
