Akasaka or Owari tsuba $425 + shipping
This is a very famous Akasaka design, though supposedly of Owari origin. Published in many many books, and it is very rare to find an example for sale.
My opinion: the geometry on this one is more Owari than Akasaka. It is thick and the sukashi is more Owari drop edged.
I believe this to be a kodai example, and I am pricing it as such.
Not a $4250 shodai ko-Akasaka, but fairly $425 as a kodai-Akasaka or kodai Owari.
The patina is a flat brown and a bit thin in 2 spots. See pics.
I think it would be a great one for mounting.
Size: 79.5mm x 79mm x 5.8mm thick.
Please ask all questions. PM me if interested.
I will leave it up here for 24 hours before letting the Facebook groups have a grab at it.
