JDub Posted August 26 Report Posted August 26 Can someone verify this Tsuba looks to be antique in age? Thanks. 1 Quote
Spartancrest Posted August 26 Report Posted August 26 Jason - you bet! Mid to late Edo [as a guess] Very similar to this one 1 1 Quote
ROKUJURO Posted August 26 Report Posted August 26 Jason, what is the meaning of "antique" to you? The TSUBA may have some age, but it is not well cared for which for some makes for an "antique" look. As Dale states, mid to late EDO - that is the period of SHINTO (= new) swords. 1 Quote
Kiko Posted August 26 Report Posted August 26 I suggest using the French customs definition: over 100 years old = antique! Darn, my ancestor missed becoming an antique by just two months—what a shame. 1 1 Quote
