  3. @Bruce Pennington no stamps, just the signature and the date. Regards, Ed
  4. Moriyama-san, thank you very much for your help! I could never figure out that myself.
  5. Need some help with the signature and date of this blade. At first I thought it would be a simple task to do but I'm completely lost. Thanks in advance. Regards, Ed
  6. That is a very nice kozuka! Thanks Bruno for showing.
  7. Mokume gane can be very attractive. I have a tanto with mokume gane fittings.
  8. I was already expecting it was gimei after reading this article https://varshavskyco.../yamakichibei-tsuba/ Thank you for confirming Steve.
  9. Thank you very much Moriyama San!
  10. Colin, thank you very much. I wouldn't guessed the pine needles theme. Thanks Dale for posting other examples. I have noticed the faint Amida-yasuri. Almost like woodgrain. Although a tsuba with a simple design I like it a lot. A pleasure to watch. Thanks again guys for helping me out!
  11. I'm intrigued by this tsuba. I can't read the whole signature but it looks like yamayoshi. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The decoration consist of black spots and a few lines. At an angle the decoration is clearly visible. Does anyone know what these spots and line represents? Please feel free to comment.
  12. I'm on a short holiday in Norway.Today I have visit the Historisk Museum in Oslo. There's a temporary expo about the Samurai. A very nice collection of mainly armour is brought together. You can visit the Samurai Expo until the end of this year.
  13. Thanks Colin and Ray for helping me out. I was staring at kanji sheets for over an hour. Never noticed the match with Sada.
  14. I have a very small tanto and the mei is very hard to read. To me it ends with yoshi. I know some of you can do miracles. Thanks in advance. Regards, Ed

  18. Thank you guys for your help! Interesting story about Nitta Yoshisada.
  19. Hi all, Yesterday I have bought this sweet little tsuba. I'm very pleased with it and like to share my excitement with you. The details are very well executed. Does anybody know the meaning of the sword in the river. Please feel free to comment. Regards, Ed
  20. Thank you very much Tom. Your help is highly appreciated.
  21. I need some help with this mei. I think it read something like Sato Kanesumi Saku Kore but i still missing a part. This type of writing is hard to read. Thanks in advance for helping me out. Regards, Ed

    tsuba era EDO

    Hi Rodriguez, Not sure but I think it's Yamashiro no Kuni Fushimi Ju Kaneiye.
  23. I think there is a simple explanation. Even today there are a lot of people who could not read or write but many if not all can write there own name.
