IJASWORDS Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Hi all, got an old iron TSUBA that I would love identified. It is quite large and 5mm thick, and only the slightest raised edge. It is signed, has cut outs. What can you tell me, age, period, school, maker?? Is it collectable? My photos of this aren't the best, but all I could do. Neil. Quote
Greg F Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 G'day Neil i am no Tsuba expert but it looks quite old to me. The Sukashi looks like a jingasa. Greg Quote
Kurikata Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Defintively a nice tsuba but poor picture quality does not allow to decipher the signature. I agree with Greg, design is a Japanese straw hat (for a priest or for a bushi) . Il like the balance of there design with udenuki Ana. 1 Quote
