Hey Guys, Thanks for the expertise, was not too expensive and still looks nice. So will find it a nice place as decoration here. Regards, Kin

I've added some more details that could help I guess; weight 155g, thickness 4,75mm, height 73,20mm and width 66,25mm. The crests on top and bottom side of the tsuba are also slightly misaligned when you look from the side. Hope this is helpful.

Hi all, New to this forum, but it looks to be the right place for expertise for my question, (not sure what section this will be placed in, I clicked on the "new topic button"), I was in Ueno and came across a antique market where I found this tsuba. I bought it because it is a beautiful decorative piece. Can somebody tell me whether this is a replica? It's not magnetic, I don't think I see cast lines, the crests seem to be placed on it and there is a signature, that seems handmade, though it probably can still be forged (which wouldn't bother me, still a nice pice and a nice story). Not an expert at all, so I wanted to see whether somebody can help me with the authentication of this item? Thanks in advance!
