Well Well seems I missed a bit of a dust up, probably for the best I would have added only more stress to Brian because old dad can't keep his mouth shut or fingers off the little funny things when put together make a word which is a concept which hurts people's feeling.
Back to the point in question, I like that little flat piece of iron I think it's older than some think but I'm far far from being a tsuba expert.
Can't wait for it to be in your hand so we can see a picture of your hand, cuz the picture of your face is way much younger I thought, I pictured a Ma Kettle with a corn cob pipe in your mouth, exaggerating of course you seem to be older soul.
So yes let's all play nice you too Danny boy...almost broke into song there....from a victim of the down vote buy you know who.
Peace love and happiness pip pip cheerio!
