JDub Posted Wednesday at 03:36 AM Report Posted Wednesday at 03:36 AM Can someone verify this Tsuba looks to be antique in age? Thanks. 1 Quote
Spartancrest Posted Wednesday at 09:32 AM Report Posted Wednesday at 09:32 AM Jason - you bet! Mid to late Edo [as a guess] Very similar to this one 1 1 Quote
ROKUJURO Posted Wednesday at 05:41 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 05:41 PM 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 Wednesday at 06:48 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 06:48 PM 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
ROKUJURO Posted Wednesday at 08:30 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 08:30 PM I was interested in Jason's criteria. Quote
