Australian Auction 29th June

[Brian]

This just emailed to me. Just passing it on..

 

We have a small collection of Japanese and European swords in our antique sale on the 29th June in Sydney Australia. I thought that these might be of interest to you. An illustrated web catalogue is now available on our website.

On our main page at http://www.lawsons.com.au select the AUCTIONS tab, then CATALOGUE & SALES CALENDAR, select sale 7881 FINE & DECOARTIVE ARTS. The items are all between lot 102 and lot 140.

Kind Regards,

Peter Marejka

Very frustrating, no detailed images and the descriptions are not good, its very hard to buy a sword this way unless you could be there in person, its unfortunate that the owner did not try listing the swords on the forum or at least Ebay before going the auction route.

Deceased estate.

I have been lead to believe, that this auction was from 2 collections. One from a deceased estate, the other not. However, both collections were purchased originally from the same dealer, who has a rather dubious reputation.
