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?

Hi. Is there a link to buy your publications? Mark

Hi. I checked your site. Where is the link to buy books? Thank You

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

Back up for sale. $220. Mark

Hi. From a Japanese text. Mark
-
Hi. Sale withdrawn. Now on ebay.
-
$200. That has to be cheap for a signed mokume tsuba.
-
Hi. I think this is signed tadanori. Very nice pattern. What is interesting is that there is still what I believe to the an original coating of clear lacquer on it. First time ai have seen the original surface like this. Measures 7.5cm x 7.5cm. Has some surface pits but overall very good condition. $250usd

Hi. $575. Mark

Hi Ken. I wondered about that too. Interestingly whilst it is huge it is not heavy, being only about 3mm thick. This is a good buy for someone who likes something different. Here it is next to a gunto tsuba. Mark ,
