pcfarrar Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Hi, I have a nice fish design fuchi signed Kiyotsugu saku? I wondered if anyone had any thoughts if the mei is geniune? Thanks, Peter Quote
John A Stuart Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Peter, this tsuba is signed Katsumasa. I'll check the books. john Quote
John A Stuart Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 I can't find a match for this mei, sorry. John Quote
Jean Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Peter, this tsuba is signed Katsumasa John, I have given up diet coke with whisky, you should do thes same :D "Too much whisky I meant Fuchi instead of kozuka, the Lord forgives me :cry: (must be that bl....y "diet coke") Quote
Ford Hallam Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Looks to be very decent work, nice find. Is the base metal iron? Quote
nagamaki - Franco Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 very decent indeed, no matter the mei. How unfortunate kashira was separated Quote
John A Stuart Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 You caught me out Jean, a slip of the fingers. BTW, diet pepsi w/ canadian whiskey, nothing with my scotch and Italian grapes in my wine, although, any wine is acceptable, almost. :lol: My mistake. John Quote
pcfarrar Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Posted February 26, 2009 I can't find a match for this mei, sorry. John Thanks for looking John. It's a shame that the kashira is missing. Not sure on the base metal it could be iron, it's magnetic. Quote
Ford Hallam Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 the base metal it could be iron, it's magnetic. ergo; it's steel/iron The reason I asked is it's very good, and fine, work to be found on an iron ground, especially fuchi/kashira. Not all that common a combination I think. Quote
raaay Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 peter very nice looking Fuchi . But is it just me showing my age here ! Wonder if the kashira had "stingray and Troy Tempest " on it , Oops ray Quote
