Hi Everyone who is in the UK for the London Arms Fair at the end of April.

 

For the first time I will be taking along 100's of fittings for sale that I have accummulated over the last 20 years; many Daisho sets amongst them.

Great to see everyone.

 

I had a great time, some new faces, and I think the armour project is fantastic http://www.to-ken.com/articles/Diaryarmour3.htm. It was great to see it for real, Robert is so talented.

 

Many thanks for everyone’s support

Hello all

i am just back from London where i was invited to drop into the arms fair and put 2 of my ww2 blades on Ian Chapmans table. They didnt sell but i wish to thank Ian who introduced me to a few like minded nihonto guys, Don Bayney, his shop in Greys market London has great quality pieces, i wish i could have spent longer chatting with him also met with Fred? ?? ( i think former chairman of Token society, ) And his wife

really nice couple. Also a few others that took the time to look at my collection i have put together this past 3 years.

Ian had some beautiful pieces and wonderful sets of fitting, i missed out on metting Mr Sinclair as i had my Tsunatoshi katana with me and he may have give his opinion, also missed Robert. But only being a novice i hope to have a chance to catch up with them in the future.

Wish i had of planned better.

Thanks again Ian maybe see you in Birmingham.

I believe you are refering to Fred Stride. I was there on Saturday morning and actually bought a gendai-to!

Often even at the most prestigious arms fair a treasure goes un recognised...this did some years ago.

 

Wish I could browse more often.

Very rare and interesting kabuto Roy. I think we discussed this here some time ago.
