<p>[QUOTE="TreaShore, post: 9867313, member: 87743"]No problem. I know the market is so tough for these (price wise). It took me about 18 years to find one that I could add to my collection. I learnt through posting on another form that it was a WW2 blade in civilian mounts. The owner was a reseller who obtained it for a pennies on the dollar. I knew him for over a decade and he could tell my face lit up after seeing it in his display case. I ran home, got my tools, and drove back to disassemble it. He didn't know anything about Japanese swords so I explained things as well as I could. He saw how excited I was so he gave it to me for a heart stopping price of $125. I will never, ever sell that sword.</p><p><br /></p><p>Eventually things will break your way and you will find one that you were meant to have. I'll be rooting for to find it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
