  1. Just wondering how uncommon it is to have tsuba without a solid outer rim? I remember seeing a waterwheel example which left large gaps. Rob m
  2. On another note would Bonham's confirm if a piece is gemei? I've seen some tsuba before with questionable mei's going for big bucks. Rob m
  3. Sorry to repeat but would the design be bales of silk? Many thanks
  4. Can we see pics of the blade?
  5. Thanks Barrie, thought it would be a challenge.
  6. Hi all, picked up this shakudo fuchi, seems nice work to me, with bamboo mon. Is anyone able to identify the mon? 38mm x 21mm and it is 11mm high. thanks rob m

    Non functional

    Hi Chaps, to my untrained eyes this looks well made but non functional? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171174844007? ... 1423.l2649
  20. Nice looking blade but i have to say im not a fan of the horimono. Rob M

    Size of yari

    Nice yari, any ideas why the hamon runs off the edge towards the bottom?
  22. I would be greatful for any assistance / opinions on this tsuba. I was thinking shoami late edo. Im only basing that on the fact that ive seen the basket weave design before. Most of the gold inlay is lost, 7.8 x 8.4cm.
  23. I have to say I personally don't find the design appealing
