Jesta Posted Sunday at 11:46 PM Report Posted Sunday at 11:46 PM Reminds me of some of the tachi tsuba that also have three pieces with overlays holding the decoration inside a tsuba with a raised mimi like this. Quote
Spartancrest Posted Monday at 02:56 AM Report Posted Monday at 02:56 AM https://romanceofmen.com/pages/oseppa-in-Japanese-katana-terminology Like this Kai-gunto with the more decorated pattern over a plain core [PS. this image shows the sword was assembled wrong, as it has two O-seppa on the one side of the tsuba! ] 2 Quote
cluckdaddy76 Posted Monday at 10:03 PM Report Posted Monday at 10:03 PM I have a tachi style guars that fits into this category. The main base is iron and the two plates are sterling. 2 Quote

ROKUJURO Posted Thursday at 11:00 AM Report Posted Thursday at 11:00 AM Looks like some kind of SANMAI TSUBA. Quote
