Yasunsori, Katana, Sumeri sword value

**sdh1911** · 10-03-2007 08:41 PM

I finally got it mostly translated and it turns out to be a celebration sword that was made outside the shrine by Yasunsori, Kenzo Kantani. I'll be putting it on the wire as such so to find the right guy. The going price is between $8,000 and $12,000 USD. Could by a lot of milsurp with that!-SDH

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Well lets say its wroth 10,000USD, apparently a 30$USD Swiss icon

bayonet in the US is somehow worth 160$ Canadian icon

at a surplus store near by, thats a increase of lets say 5 times the cost, meaning your sword is way out of my price range at 50,000$

ive nothing to add eather knowing nothing of these , but i have always envied those fortunate enough to have a real one

Anyone care to take a run at it, I put on the dreaded E-Bay. After much discussion and debate the money wins. It is truly a rare item and I'd rather see it go to an all Jap collection if the price is right-SDH

Only way I can afford the 12,000$ is if ya took it in payments, 100$ a month for the next 10 years.

I hope it goes to a good home, too many items from the past seem to get "junked" by people who do not understand its important to keep ALL history alive.
