Brian Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 Was just watching this one that failed to sell recently, and thought it looked to my novice eyes to be a bit unusual. The edges are not just folded over...it appears to be this way both sides? I find it quite interesting...but cannot say what appeals to me. The patina and overal look of the metal doesn't seem to be too good, but it does have something. Looks a bit rough and unrefined though? Just wondering if anyone could enlighten this tosogu novice with any comments? Brian Quote
Stephen Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 here are some more pix the rim is Uchikaeshi mimi, folded both ways on tsuba 98 and 44 and only one way on 60...sure Rich's can tell us more. Quote
Brian Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Posted November 29, 2006 Thanks Stephen, great scans? and very helpful. From the Polish 100 tsuba book? I must still get it. Looks like good photos, but sparce on the info. I like the way they are done, and have been considering picking that one up if it comes up for sale again. I wonder what era these are from. Mid to late Edo? Brian Quote
