[QUOTE=Jim McDougall]Let the editorials begin!
Maybe everyone will join in and discuss what 'they would do' and all the hubris and bravado to go with it.
Now what I want to know is, how do we know it was a 'Samurai' sword....what if it was simply a Showa era military sword that was industrially produced? Would a true collector of early Samurai swords and blades grab a tens of thousands of dollar valued katana to hack away at a burgler with ?

It could have been a dha the police would have no clue and call it a samurai sword anyway ]
