This is my first post even though I have dipped into some archived material over the years, so I hope you are not too critical.
I have just purchased what I hope is an early Saotome tsuba of very large dimensions 112mm x 5mm. As I have yet to receive it all I can post is a rather grainy photo. It certainly looks - - neglected but I hope that with some care It may improve. The question was asked 'Just how big did Saotome tsuba get?' Well mine is pretty big - - if it is a genuine piece and I can't honestly tell from the photo but I am hopeful.
