Geraint Posted April 1, 2021 Report Posted April 1, 2021 Dear All. A new toy has just arrived and I would be interested in your thoughts. It's quite large at 86mms by 83mms, about 5mms thick at the seppa dai and much the same at the mimi. Both ryo hitsu are original and plugged with nekko gake gilt copper and it has been mounted in the past. The base material is iron and the design is a Ho oh and Paulownia. The surface was migaki ji before the etch. The patina is a little thin but much better in hand than in the images. Any thoughts? All the best. Quote
Geraint Posted April 1, 2021 Author Report Posted April 1, 2021 Dear Chris. I am sorry, I am not quite sure what you mean. Sanmai tsuba are three layers, usually embossed faces on a copper core. This one is definitely etched iron. Or do you mean something else? All the best. Quote
vajo Posted April 1, 2021 Report Posted April 1, 2021 I thought i see a layer. But you know it better, you have it in hand. 1 Quote
