Hi Adam, 

 

Any chance I can get the weight of the tsuba? Any idea if it is cast vs forged etc.? (Apologies if these are dumb questions, I have essentially zero tsuba knowledge but this one quite caught my eye)

It is not cast, and it is a TSUBA in HEIANJO style, probably using an older (early EDO) TOSHO style TSUBA as a base for testing or trying to apply some embellishment.
