bubba-san Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 Dear peter , here are close up of iron tsuba . I have also seen in soft metal but, not in iron Maybe you can read engraved name ?? I believe it is much newer than the Wakizashi. I cannot see well enough to tell. James Quote
pcfarrar Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 Thanks for the photos, it's signed Kofu ju Toshimasa (江府 住 利政) Think he worked in the 1800s. Quote

Thierry BERNARD Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 I sold on soft metal tsuba few days ago! on your tsuba the eye of the dragon is broken! Quote
bubba-san Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Posted August 21, 2012 Very nice , one of his legs are also broken near the tail . Its kind of odd without broken leg kadzuka knife will not fit right . Nice soft metal piece . They are also signed on opposite sides .... James My mistake they are signed on same side :D Quote
