A Very Healthy Fine quality Samurai Sword in excellent original condition.Buying samurai swords directly from Japan protects International buyers from unknowingly purchasing Samurai swords that have been Tampered with by dealers and collectors who insisst on believing they can touch up & polish these blades.* Its a Lot like Western GP`s who also insist they can do a Two Day weekend Crash course in Acupunture at the Sheraton Hotel with Family in tow & take up the Art Of Acupunture directly afterwards, that takes Eastern practioners Doctors some 7.5 Years of study. The vast majority of Samurai Swords & t are Many swords outside Japan that are seriously Damaged & forever ruined by these like minded thinking people. Christies & Sotheby`s auctions will verify this Fact, they will not sell swords that have been Tampered with & to the untrained eye its almost impossible to detect. Some 90% of the swords sold at these two major International auctions come Directly from Japan after Inspections & appraisil in Japan. The other concerns for new collectors are the refurbished Sword fittings Tsuba & Fuchi & Menuki, again pick up a Christies or Sotheby`s Auction catalog and Ask your self WHY are those so Expensive ? , answer they were not cleaned off in Coke etc . Original clean untouched Patination on all metals that are in Very Good Original Condition command such prices.
