Thank you for your time. I do not want to make assumptions, but I was hoping you could tell me a little about my Tsuba. I do not know how to authenticate such an item, much less estimate value or determine its provenance. However, it really has no place among my collectibles, and I would like to ensure it finds its way to a place where it can be appreciated. It is a beautifully crafted Tsuba and I would like for it to have a befitting home. I am not asking for an estimate. Rather, I am trying to determine if it should ultimately belong to an enthusiast, a collector, or a museum.
I do appreciate everyone's time very much. Thank you.
