Gentle folk,

 

Whilst reading this thread:

http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/31526-nanban-dragon-with-roman-alphabet-tsuba/

I went looking for a similar tsuba I had seen elsewhere and found this link I hadn't seen before:

I'll report my tsuba findings in the first thread above, but on the Facebook page I see Ray Singer, Peter Bleed and Peter Dekker names mentioned as people who have been there, but I've put it here for interest of those who aren't aware of it.  The first item is a photo of CR Boxer.  Clicking on it brings up a slide view of some very, very interesting tosogu amongst other items.

 

Best regards,

BaZZa.

 

EDIT:  Just above Boxer's photo is some text I meant to point out, concluding with a link to a free download of CR Boxer's publication "European Influence on Japanese Sword-fittings 1543 - 1853":
