Yes, a sweet little tsuba. We might be looking at Hagi and suzumushi, which for some reason bring up images of fall/autumn in Choshu, for me. (Play on the word 'Hagi'...?)

thanks for the kind words everyone!  I agree, it must have been impressive when mounted.  I need a First Generation Osaka Yoshimichi tanto now.......

Now that is funny. I was just holding a first generation Tamba no Kami Yoshimichi at our sword meeting about two hours ago. A really lovely object with clear early Sudareba up near the pointy end.

...and of the examples Dirk posted none are alike either :laughing:

"Here's a side by side of your signature compared to the 1st 6 generations (papered authenticated examples)." ;-) was just making a case that the mei under discussion at the time was well off from any of the Kyo-Tamba generations. Which doesn't necessary mean gimei, but it doesn't help either.
