Thank you. The help is much appreciated.

Wow... your eyes are significantly better than mine... Thank you.

Thanks Dale. I like it too, but it is pretty worn out. There is probably a signature, but it is too faint to see clearly. It was given to me when I was at school by an old friend who collected tsuba as works of art. I think that he probably got this one in a larger lot and was not worried about giving it away. It was my first tsuba and will probably be with me when I buy my last one... I am impressed by the lengths that the forgers will go to in order to make their work believable.

Thanks for the info. I thought that it might have been used to expand the copper, but I am curious about why it would have been necessary. Would this have been a second fitting and they just didn't want to replace the copper?

This is a tsuba that I have had for 40 years. It was given to me and has some sentimental value. I am curious about the stamps in the sekigane. Has anyone seen anything like this in the past? I have not noticed any stamps like this before, so I am not sure if they are very common, and I haven't seen them, or if they are not usually a thing. Any ideas would be welcome.

This is lovely. Such a beautiful piece of design. Very elegant.

This is one of my recent acquisitions. The papers describe it as Ishimeji copper. An bird of prey on one side is hunting a monkey on the other. The signature is "Hiromoto".
