LostDutchman Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 Hi gang! I recently came across this Tsuba. Does anyone recognize it? It came off a blade that I believe to be mid to late 1500's. I'd think it's later than that tho. Quote

Mark Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 my guess for age is 1880-1900, might be cast Quote
John A Stuart Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 Cast is a good call, although the metal can be poor on some later namban tsuba. John Quote
