    I have quite a few tsuba makers where the maker is unknown A resent one being: Nobukuni Masatoshi 信國 正壽 I have quite a few reference books but found nothing Apart from an internet search is there another resource I can use? I know maker from say 1800+ can be problematic

    I'd do some research first as you may only have the one chance to see them in hand I see nothing wrong with your selection but check out No14, possibly Kaka . Generally standard tsuba Hopefully some will translate the kanji for No4
