B947.  Japanische Stichblatter und Schwertzieraten: Sammlung Georg Oeder Dusseldorf  2011 facimile of a 1916 original.  Clothbound, 9 x 12″, 218 pages in German.  Of the great European collections of kodogu built in the late 19th century, Mosle and Oeder stand out.  Must be they had good judgement and expert help; the pieces in each collection were wonderful.  This is the catalog of the Oeder collection, the first time for me to have the book which is, apparently, quite difficult to come by.  1,798 pieces: tsuba, menuki, kotsuka, and fuchi kashira are described and many are illustrated.

Other than for a small scuff on the front cover the book is in excellent condition.  2 pounds.  $180.
