jgtrigg01 Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Heloo, I know this is a long shot, I am looking to see if anyone can help me locate a replica tsuba made by Bugei in the mid 90's early 2000's. The tsuba is the Fujin wakizashi tsuba. I have attached a photo to help. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgtrigg01 Posted May 5 Author Report Share Posted May 5 Hello, So I am still looking to see if anyone knows where I could possible pick one of these up. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROKUJURO Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 If I remember correctly, there was one in the WALTER COMPTON collection. Not a copy, though. In case you cannot find one, you could always have one made by Ford Hallam ( https://www.fordhallam.com/ ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Jean but i think he wanted to look for a reproduction for a martial arts sword. I found one for 19.95 Dollar on the etsy website. But it is coated with clear lacquer so he could not patinate it. Sometimes one pop up fresh from the cast. These ones are perfect for patination and coloring.

ROKUJURO Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Chris, you are correct, I did not read carefully. By the way, lacquer can be removed. But before hampering with a Chinese cast copy, I would choose a simple but authentic one as sometimes you can find them really cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgtrigg01 Posted May 16 Author Report Share Posted May 16 The link to ebay is not the one I am looking for. The one you had pictured above is the Bugei tsuba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vajo Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 But it is not available. You should look on jauce maybe you find it there. Or on etsy. If you find one unpatinated you can made it like you want with different cold patination and colors. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
