The pictures copied from the Ebay seller don't do this one any favours but the seller links to one very similar tsuba that did sell at Bonhams. https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/22815/lot/156/

To my mind neither is particularly attractive in terms of design or manufacture.  Probably why the one posted has sat there for many months. 

 

All the best.

I agree thank you. I have already informed the seller he's knocked off £800 but its still £1100 lol 

He agrees it's a reproduction. 

What convinced me was the placement of the dots on the wattle and the feather detail etc. A craftsmen can be close to another tsuba but not identical unless cast.
