johnnyi Posted October 29, 2016 Report Posted October 29, 2016 The tsuba seems to be chemically etched, unusual "go shape", and seems to read "tetsujin saku" (saga Kaneie??) and "fushimi sumi". I don't understand yet the correct use of the Haynes Index (which arrived today) and am relying on the seller's information and google. Any help on maker, date, or any other input on the tsuba would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, John Irwin Quote
MauroP Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 伏見住 鉄人作 Fushimi (no) jū Tetsujin saku Probably nothing to do with Kaneie school. A Tetsujin is listed in vol. 2 of Toso Kodogu Meiji Taikei by Wakayama (but unfortunately I haven't that book). Bye, Mauro 1 Quote
John A Stuart Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 There is a Kaneie that signed with Tetsunin and Tetsumoko, if I remember rightly. Could be someone within that atelier in a stretch. ?? John Quote
johnnyi Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Posted October 30, 2016 Thank you Mauro and John. Here's a link that makes a reference to acid etching which might lead somewhere. Hopefully David will chime in with what he might know about this maker. http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/9120-nthk-shinsa-results/ John Irwin Quote
