Help identifying Daisho Tsuba set

[AussieMacca1972]

Hi guys. 
 

I’ve been informed these are Mino Goto and Mino Bori style work. Was hoping for some definitive conclusions if possible. 
 

thanks in advance for any help.

Rarely is there anything ever definitive within the nihonto world.

But these tsuba do look like they pass for a daisho set. Short of being signed and dated by the same smith, this is as close as one can get really.

Nice Kyō-kanagushi daisho, but not even close to Mino Gotō quality, IMHO.

The shape, size, colour (especially of the seppadai ) and overall appearance remind me of “Nagoya-mono” 

I doubt they are shakudo.

Sorry to agree with Mauro, there are areas that true Mino Gotō would not have made this way. Some gold overflows and the ubiquitous tagane-ato found on many Nagoya-mono

I agree with what's been said above. And I don't think the «Tokubetsu Kicho» status has anything to do with this piece.

[Bugyotsuji]

To be fair the old Hosokawa Kaichō paperwork does not suggest Mino or Nagoya or Kyoto or anywhere at all.
 

It’s simply descriptive of Mokkōgata ‘shakudo’ Daisho Takabori Tsuba showing Shishi/Botan, adding ‘Mumei’.

 

Nagoyamono is entirely possible, agreed.

Thanks for the info guys. Also I should have worded my post better. Meant to say “Mino Goto style”. And yes the old paperwork mentions no school at all.
