Ford Hallam Higo Iron Tsuba for sale

[Michael 101]

Dear members,

 

please find attached link to an ebay auction of a beautiful iron Higo tsuba made by the late Ford Hallam. 
 

Ford was a keen and active member of this board and a good friend to many of us and in honour of this I will be donating 10% of the final selling price to the NMB. 

 

The auction starting price is way below what I paid 15 years ago but it gives more people a chance to own one of Ford’s beautiful works of Japanese art.

kindest regards

Hello Michael,

Great looking tsuba.  

Will you open this one to shipping to the USA?

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin, thank you for highlighting this Ive now amended all my tsuba listings to world wide shipping ( hopefully that worked as I never meant these to be EU only ) 

 

kindest regards

Thanks Michael, appreciate the support. Nice tsuba that should be worth several times the starting price. His work really does fetch good money out there.
If I may make a suggestion for the auction, perhaps a link to his Katsuhira's Tiger Youtube video for those looking at the auction, to get an idea of what he was about and what he could do?
