Thank you very much Alex. I think you hit the nail on the head. Eric

On a side note here is the kurikata on the same tanto. Quite interesting I think. Pretty well done although one of the tails is slightly damaged and pushed our of position. Eric

Dale do you own this tsuba? The small face on the tsuba is very similar to these menuki. Eric

I do see some similarities with the form of the faces on the tsuba. I called them Foo dogs because I couldn't find another name for them. They do appear to have more of a lion like appearance than foo dog. Thank you for the great feedback and the example tsuba. Thanks, Eric

Thank you both for the information. I had not thought about these being tobacco pouch ornaments. They need a very light cleaning they have dirt and grime in all the small details. Thanks, Eric

Thanks Grey, Here are a few more pictures showing the size. They have slight differences to each other when you see them in person but I agree they were made to be identical. Thanks, Eric

Hello Everyone, Has anyone encountered any menuki similar to these? Or know a possible school, or time period? I believe these are depicting Foo dog faces and are made out of shakudo. Not sure if the picture do them justice but they are extremely detailed. Thanks, Eric

Hey Bruce, this cover came with what I believe is an early Edo period wakizashi in shirasaya. I am not convinced that these have always gone together. If I can figure out what any of the markings are I will let you know. Thanks, Eric

Thank you for your assistance. I have tried to translate also and it doesn't make much sense to me either. Thanks, Eric

The markings are very faded but hopefully this helps. Thanks

Hello, Would anyone be able to assist me in translating any of the script on this canvas bag. I bought a sword and it was inside this canvas bag. I think the bag was originally used for army signal flags but this is just a guess. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Eric

Hello everyone, I have a restoration project I am working on and am looking for menuki and sarute that would match the patina of what I believe to be early Type 94 fittings. Thanks, Eric

Thank you very much for the information. I will be posting more pictures of the sword later.
