  1. Would someone be kind enough to translate this hozon paper for me? Rob M
  2. For the first one, the centre design a helmet crest?
  3. I think a kite is plausible.
  4. Thanks for all the comments, very interesting.
  5. Hi George, after a bit of research i wonder if the shield shaped object is in fact a Dharma Wheel. I can just make out what could be tomoe shapes in the center which could represent the circle of life. The dragon toes are hard to make out but looks like 3. Perhaps all imagery on the tsuba is buddist related. thanks
  6. I have one of the same design http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/19193-new-purchase/?fromsearch=1
  7. Hi George, closes ups attached. Would the dragon motif be a page turner?
  8. Would anyone be kind enough to identify the theme? Appears to be a dragon? Flowers/plum tree, a book and a plate/mirror of some kind? The tsuba appears to have a almost black coating, thick and heavy around 8cm.
  9. I like the bottom bonsai pot
  10. Nice and short article on repairing broken pottery: http://mymodernmet.com/kintsugi-kintsukuroi/

    Hi all, Purchased this from a follow board member. Im really liking the strong bold design. Do people agree with the Myochin attribution? Many thanks Rob
  12. Sorry Greg, no fair for me, just spent my pocket money ????
  13. Lovely tsuba, if only if the GBP to EUR rate was kind
  14. I would say around the $200-$250 mark.
  15. I seem to remember people on the forum recommending using fiber glass pens for rust removal. Never tried it myself so cant comment. thanks
  16. Condolences to his family, a nice chap that will sorely be missed.
  17. Hi Matt, if your near London try: Don Bayney http://www.graysantiques.com/dealerDetail.php?dealer=95
  18. While I can appreciate the rarity, i just dont think the workmanship is that good. Am i missing something? Maybe its just the design that puts me off
  19. Hi Thierry, looks like a clam shell?
  20. Hi Michael, X= 68mm Y= 72.4mm Z= 4.29mm Wgt = 99.6 gms. No noticible tapering from center to edge. Many thanks
  21. Sorry forgot to mention its iron
  22. Hi chaps, this is an unusual one of chidori birds that i picked up from a fellow board member a few years ago. Has anyone got an idea on school? I cant really place it. Unusually despite the design covering the seppa dai it does appear to be mounted at one time. May thanks Rob
