Now on ebay but would prefer to sell on the board. I prefer a donation to the board rather than eBay's pockets

So I picked up the tanto tsuba of a fellow board member a few years ago.
Ive recently seen this design (without the filling) described as a rack for drying tuna?) This leads on to my question, have the voids in this tsuba been filled with I presume is lead?
Sure seki school, muromachi period, Mumei, itame hada, no major flaws, polish is old but still good, mother of pearl style mounts. Nice large hozon papered tanto approx 29cm by 0.27mm. £1000 plus uk postage.
Many thanks rob
