Same with wak tsuba

Similar tsuba showing nanako ji

picture 5 is the same picture that Stephen references in that picture it appears to be a smudge unfortunately I did not see the habaki unless that is the leather seppa. I collect russo mounts and at the San Francisco I saw a similar blade, traditionally made, in russo mounts.

Just Bought What I Believe Is A Kyu Gunto Need Id Help
dirk marshall replied to T14's topic in Military Swords of Japan
I think this is a police sword and not a kyu gunto -
I like them and would not hesitate to buy them. I do not think the pictures r bad as well.

i have cleaned a considerable amount of tsubas and am a firm beleiver in piano keys
-
Received mine as well thanks, nice book

Your right, sometimes can't see the forest for the trees. I saw the reverse swastica assumed keyfret and now realize I saw what my mind, not eyes seen

I do not know much but I found the Haynes auction catalog set along with Naunton Catalog of Japanese Sword Fittings to be the best for starting out. I have a fair match for the one tsuba

No such thing as 1 tsuba, I initially said I would be happy and quit collecting after 1, now I find myself lost in the hunt with 16 drawers and too old to remember my intial thought.

I seen the second tsuba, liked it as it reminded me of the well cover tsubas that i like, but noticed it carried the disclaimer CONTEMPORARY IRON TSUBA

A Leather tsuba I own

Izumi no Kami Koike Yoshiro

I believe this is an example of recycled ezo menuki. I often see them recycled on Kozuka and saya and have several in the same style. I was once told they originated from armor.
-
I just wish to say how pleased I am for the menuki I received from Ian C. Thanks!
-
Doesn't this style predate the previous two?
-
I have a match I believe to the item posted by Nihonto-uk .

Thanks! I appreciate your insight, is the rest Yamashiro no kuni ju kanetada?
