Some good points made and shows how to make an initial assessment
-
Someone added a post about hitsuana and age which was interesting but the author agreed it was only a guide but a nice post

After their second auction I totted up the total received It was about half the price I paid for them but it was a learning exercise I'll try Bonhams next to see if any sell at a better price I'd be in interested in using someone like Mr Doffin as as another avenue to explore I've told my kids to sell my collection after I'm gone but need to to tell them the options Any other ideas? The tsuba range from £100 to £1500 but the swords are a few thousands

Hi Piers - something else I didn't know
-
Did anyone on the NMB buy a tsuba from this auction Again they went very cheaply
-
It is an expensive way of saying it's not modern and if you are lucky a school For a seasoned collector they usually know what they have but for a newbie what else is there? Of course it is a good selling point
-
Hi Peter Great research as usual If you find out any more about these tsuba please let us all know
-
Bruce That is the one I liked
-
What a wonderful link I liked the diamond pattern

My remaining tsuba are in tomorrows auction (03/04/24). Lots 86 to 93 Auction search | Sworders I have these listed with NO reserve so there must be bargains there. I lost a lot with the previous sale I've chucked in the towel with possibly a bigger loss Good luck if you do make a bid

Every day is a day of learning - thanks

I put in ten tsuba for auction and sold two for £220 After fees I received £91 for the two tsuba! Then for the buyer there was their commission to pay A guess is 1/3 to me and 2/3 to the auction house and VAT I guess I'd better find another way of selling

To me Sado tsuba are always heavier than they look

Auction at Grantham on 27th March

Some nice pieces and it's sad to see so many sold I put some tsuba into auction and they didn't do to well but I wish you the best of luck -
The auction says they will correctly orientate the tsuba shortly
-
Will do
-
The 30% is the rub! Displays OK in the Northern hemisphere!!!!! Only joking. I did point out the incorrect orientation but it was too late for them to change the details
-
I wanted to test the water so I put a few tsuba in an UK auction on Tuesday 12 March 2024 at 9.30am Obviously with buyers and seller costs it dramatically affects the original price so I'll see what happens My tsuba are lots, 132 to 141 and the link is below: https://www.sworder....&sd=0&pp=96&pn=2&g=1

Hi Piers Stylistically they are very similar but no 'E' or keyfret shapes Would it be read to to bottom or right to left? My Google search has shown me some super kimonos with a similar style I have a couple of books on mon and I've never seen anything like this
-
Good call My first impression and it's all I see is DUNE
-
Does anyone know what this design might be?
