Several tsuba technical question. Part 2

[GoldenDrachen]

Hello gentlemen

 

A while ago I posted 3 tsuba 

Back then I Used pictures from auction description. This morning tsuba have reached me and I think I really need to post better pics and probably it will bring more clarity on these.

 

1.  @ROKUJURO suggested it is original Myochin tsuba with later decoration. I made few better shots. 

 

 

2 and 3.

First they are not magnetic and have very pleasant dark brown patina. Size is 75 X 72mm both. Nothing is looking like flaking or such. Mimi is definitely hammered. Also there is a remnants of the Mei on the Seppa dai.

 

 

I would greatly appreciate if we could get back to this in either confirm previous suggestions or bring in something new.

 

Thank you in advance

Regards

Vitaly

Hi Vitaly. I just want to say that I really like the patina on #2.  The subtle greening from the oxidation is quite lovely.

I really like the two copper alloy tsuba Vitaly.

I'm glad someone got them (even though it wasn't me)

Never saw the mei the first time round, so nice find there. Unfortunately I don't recognize it so can't help with that.

Strange though, from the image, it kind of looks like someone inserted a square patch over the mei maybe... or is it just my imagination?

Had a chance to double check it. Looks like just an artefact on the photo.
