Just curious as to whether or not any other NMB members will be attending this show ?

 

I will be attending and have several slots reserved for shinsa.

Hope to meet some of you, whom I don't already know, in person.

 

I don't plan to bring a lot of merchandise, so in the event anyone may have seen something on the website and would like to see it in hand, let me know via e-mail.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone as well...

 

The shinsa is filling quickly though there are still some spots left. We have a great schedule of educational displays and events. There will be plenty of dealers in the show room...It should be a great event! Hope to meet many of you there....

I plan to do nothing more than shop around, visit with those I know as well as make new acquaintances, eat, drink and be merry. Though I will have a table, I don't like lugging, loading, unloading merchandise and being stuck behind it (reminds me of work ;) )

 

Grey, Mark,

Look forward to it.

 

Stephen,

You can buy me lunch, but you don't owe me anything. Helping others is what friendship is all about.

 

Derek,

Stop by prior to spending your allowance. ___/\___\o/__ (Sharks in the water) :lol:

 

Chris,

Looking forward to it, as this will be my first time to this show.

Hi Everyone,

 

I will not be able to make it to Minneapolis show and shinsa. I have already sent my tsuba to Chris B. to be submitted for me for shinsa. I have a thread about it in the NMB tosogu forum. Here is the direct link to the thread: http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10760. I also posted a write up about the tsuba on my personal website the link to it on my signature. I hope those that do attend will post some photos of the event. I am planning to attend the Florida Show next year. :D

 

 

 

Yours truly,

David Stiles

Looking forward to meeting many of you at the show! Hopefully I won't be so far under water with the shinsa that I can't spend some time chatting with everyone....

Sigh.... digital image will never replace an oshigata.

Where is Clive Sinclaire when we need him! Anyone have a private jet to bring him to the show? ;)

Friends,

 

I am looking forward to the upcoming Minneapolis event. Since I will be driving, I will be able to bring a fair amount of stuff. So far the stuff I'll be putting on my table includes

 

a buke-zukuri koto katana by Mino Kaneharu,

a Nio koto by Kiyoyoshi in shingunto koshirae

a Ryokai katana,

a Rai blade that needs shinsa,

a papered Kunisada katana

2 buke-zukuri mounted Sukesada katanas

a 1868 dated Tanimitsu katana

a Sesshu Yoshishige katana,

a nagamaki naoshi with Norishige attribution

a couple of worthy gendai swords and gunto

a wakizashi by Nagayoshi

half dozen tanto, books, some pottery as well as miscellaneous kodogu, arts, militaria, and other stuff.

 

I will also have a bunch of European influenced Namban tsuba that I hope folks will look at with me.

 

Please drop by and show me your Sendai Shinto, Ainu stuff, and interesting Namban guards! I’ll be the old guy with the stiff back arriving on Friday afternoon!

 

Peter
