Exclus1ve Posted December 4 Report Posted December 4 (edited) Hello! I came across such a tsuba as a bonus, I would like to know more. What are your thoughts? Edited December 4 by Exclus1ve 1 Quote
Exclus1ve Posted December 4 Author Report Posted December 4 So far, I've only found one such instance.… 1 Quote
Rivkin Posted December 4 Report Posted December 4 Well, again not being a tsuba guy. The plate shows very little evidence of true old forging, its tight and neat with just a bit of roughness. The openings are shaped like something more common on early tsuba, but again everything is neatly drilled. Thick. Its possibly end of Edo attempt at being old and stylish. Quote
Jesta Posted December 4 Report Posted December 4 Looks very similar to Dale’s door handle… https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/53845-oh-goody-another-door-handle/ 2 1 Quote
Spartancrest Posted December 5 Report Posted December 5 Yes sorry it is a cast "replica" - they do make good handles as long as you don't jag your clothes on them! Still a freebie bonus can't be a bad thing - do you do any deep sea fishing? Would make a great heavy sinker! 2 1 Quote
Exclus1ve Posted December 5 Author Report Posted December 5 As if I already knew the answer, but it was interesting anyway) A door handle or a hanger hook is a good idea! 1 Quote
