Thanks to you both! I thought the tsuba was kinda interesting in its design.
-
To add it's roughly 3.5 x 3.25 inches.

Hello all! I recently came into possession of an iron tsuba. Based off what I've seen it's a Tempo tsuba and (probably) latter Edo Period. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
-
Alright, thank you, and will do.

Hello! I am looking for a qualified Togishi, I have some names in mind and would like some opinions. I have heard great things about Jimmy Hayashi, and from another forum I heard about a Togishi named Christopher Osborne? Any information would be greatly appreciated!
-
Alright I'll get that name thing cleared soon. I'm potentially looking to have the blade polished by a togishi. Do you think that this blade would be worth polishing and if so do you know any togishi I can contact? Any information would be very helpful!

Hello! I recently obtained a Katana and was wondering if anyone had any information to spare on it. It is signed as Hirokuni from Bushu. I believe it is a Shinto Era blade.

"Genna Era" So 1615 - 1624?
-
The guard makes me think its a type 94.
-
Here, I hope this video helps:

Is this related to WWII in any way? The leather on the saya looks like it has a leather covering from that era. (However I am inexperienced with those.) Any pictures of the tang? Heres a wwii leather cover.
-
Thanks for the help, I figured that the blade was shortened at one point considering the tang and the Machi Okuri.
-
Thanks, i'll definitely get it looked at.
-
Heres some extra pictures.
-
Yeah sure! Here is some more photos.

So I picked up a Katana mounted in WWII Type 94 Koshirae, I got curious on the blade itself and I need help putting a rough date on the blade. It is a mumei, so unsigned. I'm sure the blade itself dates before WWII, it has the steel grain, Hada, and a Hamon line. Is there any way to date this? The Hamon is very difficult to see, I assume it was mistreated in the past. Sorry, this is my first post so m still fairly unfamiliar with the site.
