A couple of years ago, I published a short paper in the American collectors' journal "Man at Arms" (which is affiliated with the NRA, Yes, that one) on tsuba that I am pretty sure were copied from European smallsword guards.I hoped the paper would bring American arms collectors and Japanese sword collectors a bit closer together. It seems not to have had much impact and a friend recently said he had heard about the paper, but had never seen a copy!

Sooo, here is a pdf.
