  1. Hey mate, tired to work with you but if you cant respond to 2 private messages yur on your own. Im out. Good luck.
  2. Hi Bob, sent you 2 PM. Get back to me if ur interested. Cheers
  3. Hi John, Dou is metal covered with either leather or laquer or both. Uwe, can you elaborate on the unfortunate feature? Damage or a repair? Also roughly early 1800's? Are there any areas or sections I can photograph that would help? Many thanks for taking the time to enlighten me, much appreciated. Regards Mike.
  4. Hi Bob, Sorry havent checked back for awhile. Ive changed my opinion after a second look and I was mistaken on one seppa having an edging added. It appears its the pressure put on the seppa by the tsuka that makes it appear as an add on. Ill draw up from your specs- transfer inches to mm and send you sketch. Will need more specs later! Cheers Mike.
  5. Has just arrived in country- will inspect in a couple of days hopefilly. Many thanks
  6. Geraint, Thank you so much, I can now do more research. Many thanks, didnt think of sadines hahaha! Thank you so much, it is a well made tsuba and Im enjoying ownership. Cheers Mike
  7. Hi all, hoping more knowledgable folk can cast light on the concept behind the design/ motif on this tsuba? Seems like fish- were gold guilded/ mercury maybe- and gilded/ overlay of ivy? Not sure what to make of it? Seems good work but! Cheers Mike
  8. Have found this and am interested if there are any on this board that can tell more about it- told late Edo? Regards Mike
  9. Hi Bob, what are they made from? Brass? 2nd one appears to have an border of different metal - section that is decorated? I have made several seppa- mine and for others- 1st is simple but second is more challenging as I would need to know the metals used? Cheers mate.

    Set for sale

    Cant see how this is a set? Menuki are tiger but no relation to tsuba workmanship or design? Fuchi and kashira have no relation to either- nothing tiger related or design related!

  12. Hi Mike,  Here's a pic of the one I have
