Update: Sadly, I don't have as much free time as I used to, and it's time to put this hobby I love on the back burner. I may add more items by the end of the week, but until then, massive price drops on what's currently listed. It's time for them to find a new home with someone who has the time to enjoy them.
If you have questions or need photos, please ask. After looking through this post, I can tell I didn't spend the necessary time to properly list these as I have in the past.
As the title suggest, there are antique nihonto and replica katana available for interested parties. I thought these were staying in the forever collection, but I can't keep everything and need to downsize.
*No price is set in stone, so I will consider serious offers to move these along quicker.
*I will update the pictures and information as time allows.
*Payment: PayPal G&S or F&F (small discount)
*Shipping: Insured Shipping via UPS included (US ONLY)
*I will consider International shipping if you're willing to cover the majority of shipping cost, but I also don't have time to jump through hoops for complicated import laws or tariffs.
1. Antique Nihonto - Mumei - Shobu-zukuri Wakizashi: SOLD
The previous owner had a new habaki and shirasaya made for this piece. He intended to have this sent off for polishing, and eventually mounted with full koshirae.

2. Antique Nihonto - Signed: "(B.I.T.C.H.U.) No Kami Tachibana Yasuhiro" - Wakizashi: SOLD

3. Antique Japanese - Mumei - Ceremonial Yari: No longer available
From my understanding, this is an Edo period koshirae used for ceremonies or plays - not battle. The blade is not original to the koshiare and is not mechanically fixed to the pole . It is secured by more of a pressured fit. I do not know if this setup was done by the previous owner or if this particular method was just necessary for it's intended purpose.
4. Replica Katana - Komonjo "Gendaito": SOLD

Nagasa: 27.75 inches
Tsuka: 10.5 inches
Weight without saya: 1035.4 g (2.28 lb)
This sword is signed (I do not recall the name) and very well-polished. The saya tension is a little loose and I added a sageo. From my understanding, these are good cutters, but I never tested it out. The Japanese silk is tight, but as you can see in the pictures, the tsukamaki is not very good near the kashira. Metal kojiri and koiguchi.
Old video, but nothing has changed. I will add current pictures soon.
