Another Tsuba

Hi Oleg,

Look closely inside the sukashi openings.  If you see a flange of metal, that is from casting and this is a fake.  If that's just accumulated dirt this may be a real tsuba, but one of relatively low quality and value.

Unless someone else knows better.  Grey

Hi Oleg, the aesthetics of your second tsuba reminds me Futagoyama, Yamakichibei or Myōchin school. I suppose the most important issue in judging such kind of tsuba is the quality of iron, which is almost impossible from a picture. The sloppy, rounded appearance of nakago-ana make me a little suspicious, but who can say...
Bye, Mauro
