Marto Tachi For Sale or TRADE
Posted: Sun Jan 17, 2010 9:18 pm
Marto Tachi for sale that I got a couple of years ago off sword forum. It is a nice display piece, I purchased it because I always wanted a nice tachi for display but couldn't afford Bugei's or any of the other high end ones. Be great for you guys that wear O- yoroi and want a tachi but dont want to ruin your expensive ones. 
The blade is 420 SS I believe, and it is sharp ( although I wouldn't cut with this one) the handle is wrapped in a gold / brown cotton cord over silk ? cloth. Tsuba and other tachi fittings are brass, and are very nice. Blade has a fake hamon. Saya is wood with a red cracle finish.
Tsuka is 10" , blade is about 30" overall with nice, deep sori.
One thing of note .. the bone head I got this sword from managed to get a burr in the edge. It is minute and does not detract from the sword in any way. However, he failed to notify me on purchase and I would have liked to know .. so I'm including it here. It is photo'd in the shot of just the edge, it is the slightly darker line on the edge.
I hve only displayed this sword, no cutting at all. Includes basic black vertical stand.
Pics are crappy, all I have is my camere phone ATM.
Asking 100USD shipped CONUS, will entertain any reasonable offer.

I will also trade for greek type items, greaves, gauntlets, Leaf shape spear head , etc.
