First of all thank you everyone for helping out and welcoming me. Now my last question's was 250 a fair prices to pay for this? Also I assume my previous summary of: Piece is from Meiji era or later (cast) Either the Owari or Akasaka school (copy) Is correct? For sure I am curious what was your first tsuba, Dale? Also yes R, I'm a man of privacy haha, but it is the first letter of my name! Furthermore I can't wait to learn more!!

Oke well that is clear and good to know. Thank you! Now I took another look at the purchased Tsuba and I do see light "casting" lines within the piece. I assume forged looks completely different? For sure I can assume by now it is Meiji era or later. You mention one-tenth of the price.. I payed too much? For sure Mauro, I thank you! As mentioned I took another look at it haha. For sure thank you as well for your warm welcome. So to sum it up: Piece is from Meiji era or later (cast) Either the Owari or Akasaka school (copy) Fairness of price (tbd) haha.

You guys are heroes, thank you so much! I am totally new to this hobby haha. So, would it be reasonable to date it to somewhere between 1600 and 1750? And based on your comments, I assume it could be a cast tsuba from either the Owari or Akasaka school? In all honesty, I bought it for €250, so I don't know if that's actually a fair price or its true value.

Hi all! I purchased this tsuba a while ago and only now found time to ask a question: From which century is it? When I purchased it, it was dated to the Edo period, but no specific year, decade, or century was provided. There was also no certificate with it, nor does the tsuba have a maker’s mark. I can see that it is forged, so I don’t think it’s fake, but I would really appreciate some help with identifying it, haha!
