Do you have an old Japanese sword lying around that you've always wondered about? Have you ever wondered if it was worth anything? I am very interested in Japanese swords. I have studied them on my own for some time and have learned a great deal about them. If you would like to sell your Japanese sword drop me an e-mail at gad@gad.net. If you would like some advice on a sword but are not interested in selling, drop me a line anyway. I will give you an honest appraisal if I can. If your sword is beyond my expertise, I will point you to someone more knowledgeable than I. Do you have a sword that looks like anything on this page? Any one of these swords (Some more than others) may be worth some money. Some may even be worth a lot of money. The rare gem may even be worth a fortune! Drop me a line, I'll let you know what you have. Beware of antique stores that wouldn't know a $300,000 "Bizen" masterpiece from a $400 "Showato". Any information I provide you will be referenced and backed up to the best of my ability. As I said before, if I cannot identify your blade, I will find you someone that can. Drop me a line. Let me know what you've got.
