Nice Cheap Dragon Tsuba Daisho Set On Ebay

[ggil]

Saw this and wanted to pass it along in case anybody was interested.  Of course with my luck both gimei.  Here is a tsuba that has a very similar signature, but came with "DEALER" certification papers (worthless almost).  NMB had a topic dealing with this school/smith (hyperlinked here).  Picture below is of the topic daisho.  Enjoy, all you cheapskates like myself!  Sorry if any cats escaped any bags (if this post drives up the price).

I was thinking about going for these, I have a tsuba the same but made of brass by Toshimasa that I bought from Grey. Its a water dragon design. Thanks for sharing.

Didn't even get a bid at $310? Hopefully Greg got it for even cheaper.

Hi Grant, I didnt go for it. Starting to save for next blade so I have to resist as many temptations as possible for quite a while. All the best.

Good Man Greg!  Since I bought my first really nice tosugo last Christmas, all nihonto/tosugo purchasing has stopped for me (this was <$100 so doesn't count  ). 

 

I hope you get such a nice piece that it turns you away from buying crap (not to say the daisho is crap at all), as I hope my nice tsuba does for me!

 

My best regards to you,
