zanilu Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 Having bought a cheap USB microscope I started looking at the surface of my tsuba with higher magnification that that can be achieved buy a normal camera. I was inspired by some pictures posted by RKG. On the Heianjo tsuba I had already posted on NMB (http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/27620-heianjo-tsuba-theme/) I have seen these spots: It is not rust since they do not react to some prodding with a bone splinter as rust usually do. They are present on the ura side mainly. Could these be the remant of old urushi laquer that has oxidized over time? Regards Luca Quote
