    for sale is my around 700 year old katana that I got from a sword gallery in Tokyo, Japan. It took about a month for it to go through the Japanese Agency of Cultural Affairs in Kyoto. it comes with a copy of the Japanese Registration certificate. I would like to get $2800.00 for it or best offer. I would also consider trades for a nice AK in 5.45x39mm with magazines and ammo. more details on sword below. if you have more questions , want to see more photos or make offers please feel free to pm me.

    edit 11/5/23:
    open to other trades:
    5.56 ak
    iwi sar 308
    desert tech mdrx 308
    open to anything really.
    also trades don't necessarily have to be dollar equivalent for the sword. if it's something that I'm interested in and want thats all that really matters to me. I've got multiple katanas I bought from Japan. this is just one I'm willing to part with so I can get something different. gotta scratch the new gun itch I guess. hahaha.
