Hi everyone. this just finished on yahoo and sold for 301,000¥. What intrigues me other than the price is that it has never been polished. Ok, the file marks are similar to that on the unpolished side of a kozuka, but both sides? Also the edge is dull as if never sharpened. Is there someone here who can read what the seller says about it please? Just a bit intrigued. Mark.

Hi. Asking for a friend. Can anyone ID this mon please. There may be a few variations out there so if someone could nail it that would be great. Mark

Hi. Can you give more photos of the menpo, front, side and back please. Much appreciated. Mark

Hi. Did you do more research into this koshirae? Do you have more pics to share? Mark

Thanks Pete. I have read Boris’ contributions here, a real depth of knowledge in early fittings. Thanks for the link.

Thanks Curran. I’m really enjoying the hunt. It’s just a matter of time. I do have a jeweller who works for a reasonable rate. He will be my contact for making seppa. I do keep thinking of the tsuba you sold to a member here. Such an interesting piece. Let him know he has a home for it if he wants to move it on

A collector friend told me about the design regarding the seppa. I guess finding a tsuba with seppa from the muromachi period is mission impossible. We can wish and hope. Mark

Hi Curren. The reason I am wanting this style of tsuba is to complete a possible muromachi period koshirae. (Just arrived today. Research starting). Tsuka and saya matching..just need a tsuba. My focus is more on armour these days but sometimes you just have to make a move and hope for the best. The size of that tsuba on yahoo is about right for me. Mine is a shortish koshirae. Mark

Hi Curran. Thanks for sharing. The right piece will come along. Good your ex tsuba is still about within the community. I’m sure he would be happy to share the pic, what a nice piece. Mark

Hi folks. I am wanting to buy a muromachi period tachi tsuba similar in shape/style to the pictured one. Please keep a look out for me. Mark

Thanks Ray. Much appreciated.

Hi. Just trying to read the registration card that belongs to this yari. .......Fujiwara Sukenobu. Thanks. Mark

Thanks Barry. I never really entertained the idea of buying a single kashira but this just appealed to me.
-
Well, the boredom has claimed another victim but this lonely kashira has found a good home. It has a nice look to it.. Edo kinko, mid edo is my guess. Where is the rest of the koshirae?

sorry Brian. Fat fingers, failing eyesight. Mark

Sorry for the typos. I edited to correct it. I will get some better pics tomorrow. Thanks for your input. Mark

Folks. I will end this for the moment. I just spoke to a friend who says it is probably lacquered black and the mokume is simulated. If you want to buy it based on that ok. I just think if I have miss described it someone may be confused with this post. Mark
-
As requested a couple of better pics. The tsuba looks dark as that is it’s colour. It still has it’s original clear lacquer. Very interesting to see. Mark

Thanks. Mystery solved. Mark

On hold waiting for payment. Mark
