Hi Eley,
Why don't you simply open a free account on Photobucket.com, and then simply copy/paste the image code or image thumb at the end of your post? It saves website space and provides a large image. BTW, Jim'bo ist ein expert in espadas anchas... Best to ye' et Nando M Quote:

We'd rather these pictures be uploaded to the forum for continuity.
When they disappear as links in time as they will; we will have nothing to show to people searching the database . Please be kind and upload your pics .

Hi Mark,
Thank you for posting this!!!! You know I get weak in the knees every time I see one of these, and Manolo thank you so much for the kind words...although Im no expert I do readily admit my passion for them. Mark, its good to see the progress you've made, and I must tell you that while a lot of folks are pretty comfortable with the dynamics of these magic boxes.....it took me more years than I care to admit to finally figure out how to post things. Actually my co-pilot here (my wife) is the tech support around here, and she finally helped me with getting it done...and once I had done it a few times, it became less of a mystery. Fernando, very kind gesture there sir!!! A true gentleman you are I agree, these threads are intended to stand as a virtual archives for future collectors queries and research, and its important to keep their integrity with images intact. Thank you so much for posting this, and I'd really like to get some discussion going on espada anchas. All best regards, Jim |

Hello,
I imagine these were seen in the Phillipines as well. Here is a tourist oddity from a while back that seems to combine the tradition of the espada with fantasy nihonto. Regards, Emanuel |

Thanks, everyone, for replying and coming to my aid.
Fernando, I may take you up on that. I'm going to try one more time and if I fail, I'll PM you. Thank you so much for the offer. Pics aren't the best, but they should get the point across once properly sized... Jim, I also have a "co-pilot" in all things gadgety, namely my 13 y.o. daughter-  . In any case, I'm still not sure if this piece is an espada or a colonial American piece. I will hopefully be posting better pics soon. Thanks!

Hi Manolo,
It's Windows, but save your time. I am completely illiterate when it comes to even the basic computer skills. My daughter, on the other hand, is pretty good. We'll eventually get it right.....or I'll be sending the pics off to Nando-

First, two hours of photos too big to download. With editing, thought I solved problem, but ended up with this. AQnyway, will try to upload more that can actually be seen!
