Kaneie Tsuba

[Gunome]

Hello,

 

This tsuba is signed Yamashiro no kuni Fushimi Kaneie.

It is in the style of Kaneie school, but I don't know if it is gimei or shoshin.

To be noticed there is no hitsu ana.

size : 8.5 cm

 

I would appreciate your opinion on this tsuba

 

Thanks

 

Sébastien

Late, low quality copy. Or is it a even copy at all? I would say it is just a bland tsuba with a fake signature.

Hello Marius,

 

Thanks for your reply.

The "ju" Kanji is missing, so I assumed it was gimei, but I wondered if this could be considered as kaneie school or a copy from another school (Shoami ?)

Sébastien,

 in my opinion this TSUBA is not in the typical KANEIE style, whatever signature it has.
