Wish it were me! Quote
Gabriel L Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 I know I've seen these extraordinary Araki Tomei mounts before – but where? Well, Christie's will have to do without me in any case. Quote
DirkO Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 I remember seeing that nice sukesada naginata before.... too bad I don't have that kind of money lying around http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?from=salesummary&intObjectID=5253787&sid=cff9b101-ce34-4eb5-83c4-6aa22ef6a78f http://www.nihonto.com/3.5.04.html Quote
Jean Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Eric, Thanks for the link Matt, Go for the GO, Nagamitsu are not that scarce, I have seen quite a lot on sale during the past years. Go, I don't think there are more than 3 on the marhet at the time being. Market wise : "for limited budget" there are 2 swords, the Ryokai and the Yoshioka Ichimonji. Crisis had definitely reached Nihonto world. For European NMB members who are cash liquid, the market is in the States and not Japan due to : Crisis/Currency BTW, there is one which fails to reach the catalog and is resting quietly in a cosy home Quote
Brian Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Go, I don't think there are more than 3 on the market at the time being... http://nihonto.ca/swords.html Go Yoshihiro with Juyo papers...now there is something you don't see for sale every day. Ghost anyone? Brian Quote
Jean Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Brian, It is one of the three I was mentionning (Christie's+Darcy's) Quote

Pete Klein Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 I believe the Tomei koshirae was on Fred Weisberg's site http://www.nihonto.com awhile back. Quote
