Tosogu Public Service Announcement : Green Papers


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just a reminder.

If a signed bigger or big name and coming out of Japan with green papers, then probably you should pass on it.

 

If anyone can correctly identify the tsuba I am talking about, you get a gold star.

No need to import junk.

First you can't trust signatures on tsuba and now you can't trust green papers.  What is the world coming to?  Thanks for the warning, John

Just there is one up now that the design looks mostly right, the signature looks mostly right, the iron seems slightly off....     has old green papers.

I have a lot of reference signatures for that particular smith and took a good look. Someone did a decent gimei, and I understand

why it might have passed in the 1970s.
