equ Posted July 27, 2020 Report Posted July 27, 2020 Hello, I would appreciate if anyone can help me out I'm Looking for top level work in Echizen Kinai tsuba. Thanks Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted July 27, 2020 Report Posted July 27, 2020 What size, equ, and any particular motif preference? Quote
Curran Posted July 27, 2020 Report Posted July 27, 2020 Another American has cornered the market in that area. Unless you can pry one off him, you might have to go with 'almost' top level work. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted July 28, 2020 Report Posted July 28, 2020 Regardless of quality considerations, a quick shot of two unsigned iron Echizen Kinai tsuba.Both show elements of horse tack. The smaller, 7.2 x 6.9 cm. Kura and Abumi.The larger 7.9 x 7.8 cm. Kutsuwa, Aori with Mon, and Abumi. Quote

jlawson Posted July 28, 2020 Report Posted July 28, 2020 I think the one you are referencing Mark is not available on the site because it was sold a little while ago...... Quote

Mal, he's after tsuba not swords. But if anyone is after good swords they now know who to contact Quote
Babu Posted August 9, 2020 Report Posted August 9, 2020 Friend of mine has a Daisho set of kinai. If your still interested. Quote

Thanks for pointing this out. Here's some pics. Quote
Babu Posted August 9, 2020 Report Posted August 9, 2020 OP hasn't been on since 27th July. I PM'd as have daisho set available to me. I think wait until he or she revisits the NMB. Adam Quote
