Amon Posted May 19, 2009 Report Posted May 19, 2009 Hello gentlemens! A friend of mine got this iron tsuba with a sword he bought and asked me for assistance but I'm not able to help him with that. Made of iron and has some kind of lacquer on it. I have a strange feeling about it so my question is shall he keep it or is it a repro/fake? Thanks in advance! Regards, Quote
Gunome Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 Hello, I have a strange feeling about it so my question is shall he keep it or is it a repro/fake? I also have a strange feeling with you tsuba. Shape of nakago ana and hitsu ana are badly done, the ground looks rough. Cast tsuba ? regards Sebastien Quote
Mike Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 To be honest I don't see anything wrong, beside maybe low grade tsua, an Edo period Tosho style tsua. Though mokko gata would not be the shape to represent this school of tsuba. I might be wrong ofcourse but I don't think it is fake, at list not from these photos. Mike Quote
