Was just watching this one that failed to sell recently, and thought it looked to my novice eyes to be a bit unusual.

The edges are not just folded over...it appears to be this way both sides?

I find it quite interesting...but cannot say what appeals to me. The patina and overal look of the metal doesn't seem to be too good, but it does have something. Looks a bit rough and unrefined though?

Just wondering if anyone could enlighten this tosogu novice with any comments?

Thanks Stephen, great scans? and very helpful. From the Polish 100 tsuba book? I must still get it. Looks like good photos, but sparce on the info.

I like the way they are done, and have been considering picking that one up if it comes up for sale again. I wonder what era these are from. Mid to late Edo?
