Bruce Pennington Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 Nice looking gunto, Mick. For guys that love the leather covers, this is a plus, as it's pretty rare to see one that still has the leather retention tab on the tsuka. Good luck with the sale.

ROKUJURO Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 Mick, to help your sale a bit, your photos should be: - well focused, not foggy or blurry - made with a dark, non reflective background for good contrast - made with light from the side (may not apply for HAMON photos) - made from directly above (not at an angle) - made with correct orientation (vertically tip-upwards, especially NAKAGO photos) - without HABAKI but showing the MACHI and NAKAGO JIRI - made in high resolution to see details - showing details of the blade (magnification or close-ups) like BOSHI, HAMACHI, HAMON, HADA, NAKAGO JIRI etc. - presented as cut-outs so very little background is shown - we do not want to see your bed If you cannot supply good photos (..."these photos are all I have from the dealer...."/..."I do not have a good camera but only an old mobile phone...." ), DO NOT POST THEM. They will not be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
