   The mei is small and the radicals kind of run together,   I thought maybe YASUMORI with my cheat sheets.   But am probably in left field.   Any thoughts?

 

Best Regards,

  Bob

I hope that you purchased the upcoming translation by Markus on the work of Nobuiye. He often used a turtle shell design.

  Thanks for the translation and information fellas.  Tsuba's are like a box of chocolates you never know what you are going to get.

 

   Barry I did think of you when I got it off as the metal had that quality look that you schooled me on a few shows back when I pull tsuba's out of my bag for expert opinion.

 

Best Regards,
