  8. Hello, Just found this tsuba on a flea market nearby... I'd like to 'restore' the missing pieces, but I don't know what was inserted in the left upper part. There is a kind of silver(?) and yellow metal in the gap. Are all those scratches made by removing the insert? Is this tsuba worth to spend time in restoration or should I leave it as it is? Thanks Yves55

    I hate to touch old (?) pieces, but the back side of this tsuba may need some restoration... What do you think? For me it's like a black lacquer. Any suggestions? 82 x 74 x 3,5 mm - iron - 138 gr.
