    Thanks Alex much appreciated! Any ideas of the value question? What would be a "fair" price estimation in this condition without any koshirae?

    Would like your opinion on this Tanto. Blade 27,2 cm / 10.70 Inch Total 36,50 cm / 14.37 Inch Broad 2.54 cm / 1 Inch Is this a Japanese Tanto or not? How old would you estimate it? What would be a fair price estimation in this condition without koshirae? All info is welcome. Kind regards.

    No fakes visible on those pictures for me.

    Maybe it is because I made the picture in artificial light?...will make one in daylight:

    Indeed and I do not think you can have a retention strap and a locking mechanism at the same time or am I wrong?

    I do not think it is a Fake Tsuba but the hole seems strange to me and wonder if anyone has seen this before? What would have been the purpose of this hole ? Was it intended to use on a specific sword? Kind regards. Paris.

    Hi Hiebert, Indeed, I only encountered ones with a rim too. Tsuba Japanese antique iron Mumei (Shoami 正阿弥) Itomaki sukashi NBTHK kicho paper | eBay

    Indeed Arnaud, it is quite a thin Tsuba (2,8 mm). Nakago Ana is 3 cm. But 7 cm is not a large Tsuba... (I made a picture of it next to a Kunihiro Tsuba who is 5,8 mm thick.)

    Would you consider my Tsuba as Katchushi (甲冑師) and how old would you estimate it?

    Hello, I am looking to find some more info on this Tsuba (7cm/103grams): Looks to have been mounted, maybe more than once. I do not think it is a fake. 1. I see a radiant sun and a sea cucumber, maybe you see something else? 2 .Edo or older? 3. Can we link it to a school or not? Kind regards. Paris.
