Greetings! I ask you to help in the identification of this naginata. While the photos are just like that. Thanks in advance.
-
Thank you for your help! The photos distort the real geometry a little. Later I will make full-fledged images with the size of the sword.

Thank you for your help! Grev Your tsuba variation is almost identical, except for the mimi form.

Greetings! An interesting museum full of exhibits, despite a small room. Compact and laconic. It is under the ground. Several photos from the excursion.

Thanks Brian! What could this icon mean on this same blade?

Thank you for your response and attention to the topic. Unfortunately my English does not always allow me to understand the ambiguity of sayings. But next time I'll try to take advantage of Stephen wishes. Yours faithfully Alexander

Thank you for attribution and decoding of me. I understand that Kanehira is just the name of the master. Perhaps there were some features of signing swords of that period, allowing them to sign their work with a short signature? With respect, Alexsandr

Greetings! I ask to express my opinion on the attribution of this sword. There are slight distortions of the sword's geometry in full-size photographs. Blade length : 67 cm.. Sori :1.5 сm.. Mekugi : 1. Width at the hamachi : 3.2cm.. Width at the Kissaki : 2.2cm.. Kasane : 0.7 cm.. I will be grateful for any comments and opinions. Regards, Alexsandr

Thanks dear Geraint, you are right, this term in this case is more appropriate. I represent the following tsubu from the family Gomoku Zogan dating from the 17th century. I ask to speak out on the correctness of attribution. Regards, Alexsandr
-
Greetings to all ! There is an assumption that this tsuba-flowers clematis-iron, santoku belongs to the school Kaga and dates back to the XVII century. I ask to speak out on the correctness of attribution. Regards, Alexsandr

Brian , at first I misunderstood your post and thought that the remark concerns the originality of tsuba. Thanks for the comments. In terms of different categories tsubov agrees with you. Later, I will post photos of other tsuba -when I take pictures. Regards, Alexsandr.

Many thanks Geraint ! Your answer in evaluating and perceiving tsub is important to me and more than informative. Aesthetics of tsuba and its comprehension by man is important as nowhere and especially in Japanese culture, being one of the keys to her understanding. I obviously did not understand Brian's post correctly. Thanks again. Sorry for my English. Regards. Alexsandr.
-
Greetings! Request to dear Brian - tell me which of tsub you meant when you said "You started out with some nice tsuba, but some of those are not in the same league." and what is it manifested? Yours faithfully, Alexander.

I thank all the participants in the discussion. The sword in its time was bought at auction Bohams with the following description- "A katana unsigned, koto. the straight blade with three mekugi-ana, narrow notare midare hamon, mokume hada, fully bound tsuka with replacement wood kashira and iron fuchi decorated with gilt mushrooms, large copper and gilt shi-shi menuki, and mokko-shaped lacquered lether tsuba, in its red and black speckled lacquer saya" . I suspected that the period of the sword could be specified incorrectly. Found a very similar option on the following link - http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/16612-loyalist-blade/ . Regards, Alexsandr

Greetings! I ask to express my opinion on the attribution of this sword. There are slight distortions of the sword's geometry in full-size photographs. Blade length : 71.8 cm.. Sori :0.15 сm.. Mekugi : 3. Width at the hamachi : 3.0cm.. Width at the Kissaki : 2.0cm.. Kasane : 0.67 cm.. I will be grateful for any comments and opinions. Regards, Alexsandr P.S. Fixed the long-pointed it wrong with the tsuka.

Hi! Brief and concise. Thank you! Best , Alexsandr.
-
Thanks for the opinion Chris. Better photos. It seems that the master did not finish the tsuba - as there were traces of marking the future contours, and the texture of the metal surface with traces of the cutter and grooves after the tool. Like that. I am grateful for any comments. Regards , Alexsandr
-
Brian from the signed tsuba is the last, unfortunately ... Thank you all for your help in translating. It will be interesting to hear opinions about some of the tsub not in the same league. Sorry for my English. Regards. Alexsandr
