I've just recently gotten into the Japanese Protectorate of Korea arena, and I haven't really built up much of a library on that area - actually I can't find much in English. Have you made the preliminary go-no go test of verifying it's weight and diameter? They should be 26.95g and ~38mm. The latest Krause value for KM#11114 in VF is $1,250 and between the flattening of the details in the dragon, the mounting damage, and the obvious cleaning, I can't see paying full VF for this one, even if it is real. For some reason Jacobs doesn't even list the 5 Yang, but as #18-6 in the 2005 JNDA catalog, its valued at ¥100,000 (~US$900) and up. Personally, I think I would use the 20-foot pole I reserve for things I won't touch with a 10-footer.

I will, as soon as I figure out how to do it.
