I need help.
I have a small collection of Tsubas. A large part of this collection has not been for sale for more than 50 years. Due to illness I have to sell my collection, and I would therefore like to have help for a valuation. Not so much in terms of price but in relation a description of the school, period, design etc.
In the years I have collected Tsuba, my criterion for collecting has always been visual and of course the size of my wallet.
When I sell the collection I will offer a donation for this forum.
I've done my best throughout the years to take care of my collection.
I very much hope that someone will give me a helping hand.
Thank you in advance.
