Marius Posted June 7 Report Posted June 7 OK, here is the deal. This auction is for the benefit of the NMB. It will last until the 14th June, 23:00 GMT. The winner pays the bid amount directly to Brian, our admin. The shipping cost is on me. Once payment has cleared I send the tsuba to the winner. It’s a nice iron tsuba from the Edo period. Good iron tiny gold remnants at the end of the leaves, nice shape, heavy in hand, shakudo plug. It gives me a Genroku feeling. Measurements: 7.6 x 7.25 cm thickness at rim: 6 mm at seppa dai 5mm The auction starts at $50 make your bids, the upkeep of the NMB costs money. And many thanks, gentlemen! 🙏🙏🙏 1 2 Quote
