Calling all with a memory.

I spent about 20 minutes trying to find the post somebody showed a sword I had a crappy tsuba but nice FK.

It had this mon on it.  Someone else showed him a tsuba like this.

 

I don't know where you're at on it but this is on Buyee with a day to go currently at $90.

And yes it can be patina black

Hi Stephen, I think you’re thinking of me! I appreciate you looking out! It’s a really nice looking tsuba thats right on theme for my koshirae 
 

Here’s a link to my original post about it. Although I have concerns about what looks like maybe a casting seam? I’m just a newbie so I’m not certain of what I’m seeing, but I zoomed in on the photo below

@ÉtienneIt was I who had seen one but on ebay, on a post that was looking for a tsuba fitting with the elements of the tsuka, it seems to me @GeorgeLuucas. however it was not the same price. But pretty much the same nonetheless.

Yes id definitely ask the tsuba guys in tosogu.

I didn't catch that good eye, the gold globs instead of the mons is concerning as well.

SF show will for sure turn up much nicer ones in shakudo at a lot higher cost😉

Good luck!

You can see the two-plate(?) construction on the inside wall of the hitsu ana.

Thank you! And appreciate the help. Shakudo nanako would be ideal, but I’m also open to a tsuba with a paulownia theme. I recently acquired this Choshu Kiyoshige tsuba, but unfortunately, it’s a hair too small to get past the full nakago 

 

Sharing because I find it an enjoyable tsuba and set, even though it doesn’t quite  fit

 

the search continues!

Yes it's funny but Stephen I would have written Stéphane. I hadn't seen that the page had transformed your name, besides I couldn't name you other than by Étienne 😂. the French translator is like France right now, it's a mess.

Great tsuba, Shakudo nanako is ideal even if no món
