hxv Posted September 18, 2016 Report Posted September 18, 2016 Brent, It is a genuine Namban tsuba. Unfortunately, it looks like it has been stripped of its patina, making it essentially worthless. What a terrible loss! Hoanh Quote
Stephen Posted September 18, 2016 Report Posted September 18, 2016 Is that sliver all over it or steel showing cant tell on cell Quote

Geraint Posted September 18, 2016 Report Posted September 18, 2016 Dear All. I'm not so sure. I am with Stephen on this one, I think we are seeing silver nunome zogan, have a look at the visible cross hatching around the seppa dai and one point where I think we are seeing the silver foil lifting a little. If so then far more interesting and not a dead Polly! All the best. 1 Quote
dominnimod Posted September 18, 2016 Report Posted September 18, 2016 Going with stephen, 80% silver zogan Quote
