No question. Do it. Send me all your dha, though. I'll give them a good home.

Looks like you had a great time, Dan.

Not likely to happen Andrew - but you can keep on dreaming

Actually Antonio got quite a few Korean swords donated from their National museum, another place I've spent an inordinate amount of time in (actually just returned from there), and have yet to get an example of. Truth be told these were the first authenticated Korean swords I'd ever seen. More of downed -sized version of a Japanese sword. I would have thought that there would have been more of a Chinese influence.

Told you it was educational!

Antonio, you can reach Serge through his website www.cozun.com

My three containers arrived safely today; all the pieces were fine even though the snoops at customs opened one of them .

Good packing by the museum; kudos !

Great to hear that Rick,

Thank you. It is the staff that deserves the kuddos. They are fantastic.
I would appreciate if everyone would post or email me confirming their shipment being received.
Thanks
