Once in a great while, we get a real treat to showcase. We take pride in every auction, but sometimes we encounter something that whets our appetite and inspires us to go further than usual in the photographic and descriptive process. Each of our specialists have their hobbies and preferences, with some of us specializing in sports and sporting equipment, others into coins and numismatics, and in this case, our weapons enthusiast was absolutely giddy to take the photos and write the listing for a centuries-old Japanese Sword.
Check out the auction, and you’ll see how we take every effort to sell an item this special. We make certain to perform proper research to know which terms to use in the description, and we go the extra mile when it comes to detailed photographs. With an item such as this which is a real work of art, we make certain to highlight every important aspect. On a Japanese Sword like this Tachi, it’s important to show it with proper lighting and using multiple angles in order to reveal the hamon, or temper line, plus reveal any visible damage. The mei or signature on the tang is very important, and fortunately, this sword has papers with it that identify its maker and year, confirmed by a noted sword evaluator. Our consignor provided us all the information we needed, and the result is an auction that has a far greater chance of sale.
We’ve had the pleasure of selling Katana before, and the Tanto which this consignor brought in sold last week for $4500, so we have seen some great successes in selling fine Japanese antiques.
