Christian tsuba - NOT!

It is by no means top quality work, probably backyard made?

Thomas this is the ura view - all the images in the auction are upside down. [Which always annoys me and is often an attempt to hide something.]

If they were trying for the 'real' habaki look the slanting 'rain' lines should have been on the lower part of the habaki nearest the tsuba - I am no expert on habaki but that is what turns up on most visual searches.

Piers a better analysis can be found here  https://jnnp.bmj.com/content/64/6/795   :laughing:

And maybe someone's first attempt at it, too?  It appears contrived to me.  And if the habaki are trying for Kaga style, shouldn't they have five notches instead of three?
