Alex A Posted July 24 Report Posted July 24 Looking for the above, school/style don't matter. Just to be clear, full tree design/carving, not just flowers. Good to high quality If not pine but you have another tree tsuba, plum etc., whatever, may consider. Pm me if have anything. Cheers. Quote
Alex A Posted July 24 Author Report Posted July 24 Hi Piers, don't really matter so long as good quality, cheers. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted July 24 Report Posted July 24 Had this one Alex, but there are two problems with it. 1. I may have sold it to a friend. 2. The Kaneie Mei is probably not legit. Someone told me Kaneie tsuba do not have fukurin. 3. The pine tree is on the reverse, with some flying Daruma figure on the front. 1 1 Quote
Curran Posted July 24 Report Posted July 24 Eh.... lousy photos, but looks like a good tsuba. http://www.nihonto.us/BUSHU TUBA GN.htm If he doesn't sell it in the next 2 to 3 weeks, I will probably cave and buy it myself. 1 Quote

Rawa Posted Sunday at 02:24 PM Report Posted Sunday at 02:24 PM As usual with resellers. In this case look outside of ebay for it. I bought from reseller once knowing about it as his "provision" wasn't so big. Quote
Alex A Posted Sunday at 03:15 PM Author Report Posted Sunday at 03:15 PM Aye, maybe not. Besides that, i am suspicious about that tsuba, those kind always make me suspicious. Quote
Rawa Posted Sunday at 03:55 PM Report Posted Sunday at 03:55 PM Suspicious? Obvious cast. Buying on ebay? I bought less then 10 items in last 10 years Its good only as database for potential real sellers. Tsuba you posted is somewhere there for around 100$ But those sellers I gave you have good opinions even here. Quote
