    Secret Agent man, I am glad you bought the morning glory tanto tsuba , was one of my favorite, the shakudo color is incredible, ja ? I am having fun in the Hermit Kingdom ............ http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id= ... ef=profile Not too many Japanese antiques here, the only gunto I saw was an obvious fake.

    orientation of the kao is slightly different but overall, the strokes ( and the " SPIRIT " )LOOK THE SAME TO ME. milt

    wasn't there a horsie tsuba with the same name ? milt
  13. not rare at all,check the hamilton catalog. Sometimes they are referred to in the western world as " junk inlay ".............you can interpret whatever you want from that description. milt
  14. " Milt, no I don't think so. This one cost me very little. Or do you mean the cost of the implant? " I mean the tsuba looks like Mr. Bill. You see the two eyes and the mouth ? Milt
  15. Bugsy, I see mr bill saying............. " oh no " Milt
  16. mid to late edo. 69.00 on a very good day. Snipe it at 23.01 milt
  17. size matters............ if wak size, 125.00 katana size ( > 8cm ), 225 to 275. Deflationary pressure is still with us milt
  18. Mark, I am not totally convinced your f/k set is a matching set. Shishi, by convention, usually is associated with peony, not prunus as in your case. milt
  19. Miboku, there are 4 listed in the Kinko meikan, As discussed before , don't get too excited if the mei matchesthat with the book. see also thread below.................. the earwig fuchi, similar mei. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4387 Milt Location classified.
  20. one more pic of the " inside " of the kozuka hole..... appears to have quite a few bones, as they are inside the hole, don't think they are " hammer works " to simulate bones. That brought to mind about the surface ' texture/features " of the tsuba surface .... are those bones ? or are they hammer works ? milt
  21. " MR Bayney stated that it is in fact a fake chinese tsuba " Mr. Bayney is wrong. milt

    just one more

    it's a pheasant...............good roasted with cranberry sauce but have to watch out for them buck shots. milt

    and most likely the last at least for a while................what a way to end 2008 ! Not Ishiguro good but quite decent. milt

    Kyoto tsuka

    You betcha.......... Nothing is " perfect ", my set has a " mis-matched " kashira ( at least that's what I thought ). Just to illustrate the point that workmanship/taste could be " subjective ". the mei is Hisahide, late edo, listed in Kinko meikan ( new edi )..............but then, why compare strokes for strokes ? mei can be copied easily as we agreed. p.s. here's to " show off " the " other end " milt

    Kyoto tsuka

    again quality is very subjective................. here's one fuchi that's almost " identical " design, but there's different level of quality. milt
