For half the price, I'll be getting the Sanchomo (Yamatorige) if it still isn't in a museum, thanks.

I hate to be a nay-sayer, but that's a little steep for a 1970's-early 80's Chinese-made wall hanger. By the looks of it, this thing is worth about $20....and that's pushing it.

I just HAVE to get this! I am a serious collector, so that MUST be the exact sword that I absolutely need! I wonder if they take Liberian dollars?

But...but...the super duper steel alloy (its composition is a secret. Lost ancestral secret. Of course.

) from a falling star (Extraterrestrial lost ancestral secret

), forged in the depth of three different erupting (where's the fun otherwise ?

) volcanoes and quenched in the heart of a genuine last of its kind dragon (already dead, do be humane friends.

).

I won't go into the necessary combined Full Eclipse/Blue Moon/Planetary Alignement/Astrological Compatibility...

More seriously, saying it's a wall-hanger is pushing it...at this price, it'd better fly or hang itself, no need to involve a wall.

Clearly a very experienced and respected dealer in priceless antiquities.

I’ll bet a dollar to doughnuts one could get it for $9,000,000. Who’s on?

If everybody in this thread contributes a cool million each (pocket change!), we're already up to $7,000,000.
