Hi Ray: What did you read the second character to say? -
Here is a signature on a tsuba. I read the first character as Kazu or Ichi and the last as Saku. The middle character is the one I need help with and if you have information on the smith that would be appreciated as well.

Do not use a new copper penny as it is not pure copper. Arnold Frenzel decades ago gave me an old English penny that is large and pure copper. They are not expensive, easy to hold and work well.

Someone must have really liked that tsuba.

Here is a link to a daisho for Hizen Masahiro blades. The koshirae and blades are papered. The koshirae was published in the NTHK Journal. https://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipM-YnNYdUwSSfLmxz3zZsnDymWgJAZozczXBz6T

I enjoyed the video. It was a great talk. The subtitles are a joke. Kajihei was given many different names by the subtitles as were many others. You might want to keep an eye on the subtitles and an ear to Marcus.

Thanks Ian.

They plates are fixed. I thought when I saw it that it was collapsible. It is not.
