    I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with it( it’d make an incredible case) it’s just that it recently sold on eBay for 1/15 of the asking price . I do not mean this as an insult.
  2. Frank Gorelik
    Somewhere around that
  3. Frank Gorelik
    It went from $1,000 on eBay to $15,000 on NMB?
  4. Frank Gorelik
    It looks like a later Meiji period export piece
  5. Frank Gorelik
    Gotta agree with you, the set itself is excellent but the kurikata is incredible.
  6. Frank Gorelik
    What attribution does the koshirae have?
  7. Frank Gorelik
    If sold to a nmb member I'll donate 15% of the sale price to help out Ford.
  8. Frank Gorelik
    Discounted 20%.

    If anyone is interested in the kozuka, it is for sale here: https://www.raindragonfineartandantiques.com/product-page/accessory-knife-handle-kozuka It has since been professionally restored by Marcus Chambers, and comes in a custom box. Thank you

    My initial gut feeling says ko kinko as well. The carving is very deep as well.

    The menuki look like they are from the cast school of fittings.

    Apart from the nbthk which is the "professional opinion", Ray's opinion is very well regarded and I agree with him here that's its not close.

    Can you post some photos.
  16. Frank Gorelik
    That second set looks familiar.
  17. Frank Gorelik
    Yes, I do not believe any tsuba were made prior to Tokujo.
  18. Frank Gorelik
    Not Ko-Kinko imho
  19. Frank Gorelik
    There were innumerable "netsuke" made as merely trinkets.
  20. Frank Gorelik
    These are all modern carvings, likely made in the mid to late 20th century for the tourist market.
  21. Frank Gorelik
    What's the pressing need for a signature?
  22. Frank Gorelik
    They look cast to me.
  23. Frank Gorelik
    Hypothetically if these were sent for papers, I'd be fairly sure it would come back ko-kinko.
  24. Frank Gorelik
    As long as it is professionally/respectfully restored there shouldn't be an issue.
  25. Frank Gorelik
    I would say ko-kinko.
