WISHING all Moderators, Friends, Members a HAPPY, HEALTHY , PROSPEROU$ 2008!

Since it is a public holiday today, I had time to take pictures of what I have purchased the past 5 months , I got hooked on WW2 Japanese blades. Special thanks to Bob and the rest of the experience members who helped me with all queries.
Wife not too happy initially with these swords but they will get use to it eventually

This picture is for all the tassel collectors, as you can see, I did not mount them because I prefer to keep them straight and nice with minimum handling.
I only mount a worn tassel on one of my swords.the small pieces of paper around them are my notes of how much I paid for them and the dates.tend to forget after a while..

Ian,

A very nice collection of swords in only five months. I have noticed that both swords and tassels have risen in price in the past few months. Now I know who to blame for that price rise.
