Hello everyone, I wanted to show you this tsuba I found. It's probably an iron civilian gunto tsuba. But unfortunately I have no further information about it. Perhaps one of you can tell me more.
-
As always many thanks
-
Hello, i would be happy if you could help me once again with the translation of a mei. I think it might be KaneSada or KaneMune? Unfortunately I did not get better pictures. Thank you very much.
-
Thank you all for the help. :-)

Hello, a friend of mine wants to buy a WWII Gunto. Unfortunately he only got these two pics of the Nakago from the seller. Can someone help me with the translation. Thank you.
-
True. Thank you, Piers.
-
I think this is it.

Hi Manuel, yes, i thought of that family, too. But I am unsure and wanted to ask here for more opinions. Thank you.

Hello, can someone please help me with this family mon? It is on the fuchi and kashira. I have looked on the internet and in the book by Hawley & Kei Kaneda, but can't find it. Thank you for your help. Best regards

Ray, thank you very much.

Hello, i bought this tanto and wonder what is written on the saya. Could you help me with the meaning of this sayagaki? Thank you very much. Peter

Thanks for the translation Tom and Sebastien. I can't see much of anything there :-) How do you like the tsuba?
-
I try, but I can hardly see it.
-
Hello, I bought this tsuba and it was delivered today. I like it quite well and maybe one of you can tell me something more about it. It's still very faint to see a mei on both sides. Dimensions: 73,5 x 4,2 mm
-
Thanks for your help, Uwe.

Hello, could one of you please translate this tsuba mei? Thank you.

Hey Chris, I like the tsuba too and so I wanted to learn more about it. Thank you.
-
I think the tsuba is older than one to five years. Sounds weird, but the tsuba feels older too :-) The tsuba was not cleaned. Sekigane is new and was made for the current blade. Yes, it is probably the quality of the photo, but it is not gold lacquer. The sun is simply missing. I took photos with flashlight. Maybe it's better that way. I have also never seen such a representation of the tonbo. Therefore I ask here :-D Thank you.

Hi Jean and John, thanks for your assessment. Yes, Hitsu-Ana is a different material and is filled with copper. I do not find it easy, because the iron and the patina look old to me. What age do you mean when you talk about "new"? I have another dragonfly tsuba here. I would also appreciate your opinion on this one. Thank you. Best regards Peter

Hello, can someone please give me information (school, age) about this iron dragonfly tsuba? Dimensions: 85.0 x 78.5 x 4.5 mm Thank you very much. Peter
-
Hi, I also think that the blade is questionable. Thanks for the link, this is very interesting. Best regards

Hey Manuel, thanks for your quick response. I found this tanto. The signature looks pretty similar. http://www.l-wise.co.jp/super-jsa/auction.cgi?num=19&mode=detail Shizuoka Prefecture, Showa periode made by Moriiki.
