Thank you all of you for your investigations.
Another enigma to solve.
I'll try to find similar tsuba on the web sites . Perhaps by similarities I'll be able to discover what is its origin and school.
Thank you so much Steve and Uwe for your efforts to find the Smith name.
After googling all kanji and translation, nothing relevant was displayed. Only jūgatsu as being october (10th month) was clearly understable to me.
Thank you again.
Thank you, all of you for your comments which give me a little confidence in the fact that this tsuba is indeed Japanese. I do not avoid the fact that it might be a modern copy because of its weight [0,3 kg] and thickness [0,8 cm].
Thank you Ron and Barry,
Indeed pronunciation can vary from a context to another one. I discovered that 起 can be read as "OKI" even "O".
But Haynes doe not disclose any artist with these kanji as
KI ICHI
KI KAZU
OKI ICHI
OKI KAZU
O ICHI
0 KAZU
Hello
without answers I tried to make more homework and succeeded in finding this Kanji (KI): 起
Therefore the signature might be KI ICHI. 起一
My problem: I cannot find any artist with such a signature ....
Can you bring some information ?
Thank you
