$19,500 !
200 years old with all kind of certificates.
Will need a government permit to export it . . . about $2,000 +
Are you interested ?
I don't need to make even a $1 profit on this.
If not . . . I'll just buy it for my livingroom.

My wife's father used to own two of those . . . with sheat and all !
He was a high police officer and a kendo pro.
I searched everywhere in his property . . . but all I could find were two European Middle Ages stilettos (how the **** did they get here ?) . . . a bit rusty but still quite in good shape !

And one 170 year old silver Yen.
The last one I gave present to the father of my second simultaneous wife.
Which I kind of regretted really . . . because he turned out to be a real piece of democratic **** !
Well, can't turn back what has happened !
Better to learn to live with it !
Sold the stilettos for about $7,000 each to an antiquity store, here in Osaka.
They looked pretty cool !
(Image is just for illustration.
They actually looked bettter than that.)
