Thanks for the help guys! Sorry about the name, for some reason I thought that it automatically signed it since it asked for it. I pretty much figured that it was cast for the reasons you said. I had seen one like this a few months ago and fell in low with the cloud design. If it didn't have the obvious casting errors I would probably keep it. That said, had anyone ever seen another tsuba of this design antique or otherwise? I've scoured the Internet for one and have found nothing.
Again, thanks for all the helpful replies! My pseudonym is one I've used for years. I've never actually come across anyone else using it so wherever you see it it's me.
