After a couple last minute hiccups and a few days off the intended return date, I’m glad to say we’re back. 😁
Though temporarily I will not be alone to manage some on the ground stuff, I have my good friend and fellow halfsie, Mathias (aka “Mattie”) helping out with the chats.
Mattie’s a brother from another mother based in the UK who was nice enough to offer aid with answering queries on my behalf while I’m at my busiest. I have equipped him with the files and necessary details to keep all of you going (bar customer info and other private stuff) and he is also proficient enough to give advice and point you in the right direction for any type of general questions.
Only thing he will be unable to do would be managing discussions of nihonto (or antiques in general) as those are out of his area of interest/expertise at this time. It’s worth noting that I have shared a few pieces with him that are available but apart from the write ups I had made, he will be unable to provide any further insights beyond that.
With that in mind, Mattie will be focusing mostly on new inquiries, discussions pre-acquisition and a bit of my area which will be focusing on post-acquisition and whatever entails after the fact.
The UK is a couple hours behind the PH so Mattie will be more active later in the day over here but the extra hands are always a welcome addition. I am extremely thankful for the assistance he has provided and it will be quite the crazy time catching up to a couple hundred chats that have piled up. 😅
Wish us luck! 🤞🏻
