Marius Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 This one comes with an NBTHK Hozon - attribution to tosho. A plate with no hitsu ana, the tsuba is covered in something that looks like sloppy urushi. It is a kata size, thin tsuba: 7.8 x 7.9 x 0.2 cm at rim I think it ian old tsuba that has deteriorated and that has been subsequently covered in some coating. I am too lazy to read the remarks of the NBTHK, but I encourage you to do it on your own. I think this might even be a ko-tosho, but who am I to disagree with the NBTHK. I treat is as a tsuba good for mounting on a nice katana koshirae I am selling this for the price of the NBTHK paper and scrap value of the iron, that is: $315 incl worldwide global express shipping, PayPal fees extra.
