ROKUJURO Posted June 19, 2021 Report Posted June 19, 2021 Simon, welcome to the NMB forum! Translation is difficult, as the photos are upside-down. In addition to that, it is a cast one, so a copy (of a GÔSHÛ TSUBA) with no collecting value. Quote

sledge Posted June 30, 2021 Author Report Posted June 30, 2021 Thanks to you all. This is all so interesting, this piece has been in a box since 1947 it came from a widow who said it was brought back by her husband who was on the kokoda trail. I attached more pictures if anyone is interested. Happy to hear any thoughts about it that's for sure. Quote
