I enjoy having a katana in my collection, but I think I’m being greedy having two, especially as I no longer do a JSA.

I’m therefore selling either my PPK OR my PC Shinto. I’m only selling one of them, so whichever isn’t snatched up first I will keep.

Neither have been cut with, but they have been on display.

PPK:
No major scuffs or scratches on blade. Some of the antique brown has rubbed off on the fuchi and kashira. Includes a heavier green cotton sageo which I’ve inexpertly tied prior to taking the photos. If I can find the original sageo and cotton sword bag, I’ll of course include them. Online prices range anywhere up to £335!! I’m letting this go for £200 including p&p

Shinto:
Blade is pretty much perfect. The tsuka is a little bit faded and is more of a dark grey than black now, but still looks good, and is tight and secure. The saya has a short, very fine, crack along the ha edge (visible on the photos, but not as bad as the photos make out.) I think I still have the silk sword bag and the (slightly incomplete) cleaning kit, which I’ll include. I’ve seen this being sold brand new online anywhere between £600-£700, but due to the aforementioned flaws, I’m letting it go at the discounted price of £350 plus postage so this is your chance to own a very decent blade at pretty much half price.

Payment accepted by cheque or bank transfer (preferred). I also accept paypal, but request buyer pays the 3% charges.

Cheers,

Ant

Can't seem to edit my original post, so hopefully this reply might be enough.

I'm now open to offers from the EU, if this tempts anyone!

I will split postage with the buyer, but would need your shipping address to calculate cost.

Cheers,

Ant
