Bushu Ito School - Masa Naga - But Which Generation?

[Kurikata]

Hi,

 

I have this tsuba in my collection.

 

It is signed Bushu (no) ju Masa Naga.

 

Does someone can give me some information on the generation ?

 

Thank you

Hi 

 

My tsuba looks similar to the one in Nihonto Koza

 

But Kanji for Naga is not the same...

 

Can someone help me?

 

Thank you

Bruno,

 

Just passing thru and here you are again.  Another nice Tsuba.  Feel compelled to mention  that you should attend to any bright green colorations noticed on copper, or copper based alloy components of Kodogu.
