bullpuppy Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 I am new to nihinto and even newer to tosogu. I bought this tsuba and was wondering if it looks authentic and what time period was it made. It is made of iron and the Dragon Fly is in silver and the tail wraps around to the other side of the tsuba. It was bought from a dealer in Japan. Quote
kusunokimasahige Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 crude cast but looks nice... wether or not its real ill let other connaisseurs decide... KM Quote
Rich T Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 for any concrete answer, but I do not think this even looks Shirremono. It appears to be a modern knock off. my 2 yens worth. Rich Quote
bullpuppy Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Posted October 26, 2006 I was thinking of putting this on one of my Gemeis. Do you think that it is a Japanese knockoff. It does not look like a chinese paper weight. Quote
bullpuppy Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Posted October 26, 2006 I did some searching and found this link http://japanesesword.net/eng/fitting/t3.html This is a copy but much lower quality than the one I have. I like to know what the original was? Quote
