Thanks Rand.
There is actually a little method to my madness.
A local dealer has an antique rosewood Chinese sword stand with a not for sale sign on it and a japanese sword sitting in it.
He has ear marked it for me if he ever decides to sell it but his reaons for not selling it are that swords display well in it and whre is he going to get another old sword stand from so I am appealing to the international community and I think with a period replacement of some calibre he will trade with me...it is one of those must haves, it actually matches a solid rosewood chinese chair I have here too so it will complete a nice picture for further displays around the house.
Still looking....
