Well done Ray I honestly couldn’t make head nor tail of it so well done 👏👍 ian

Hi Piers Hope you are keeping well… yes a magnet does stick to it, it is iron the colour is misleading it does have a good patina. ian

Just got a picture from my friend, hope this helps. ian

I know you enjoy a good challenge so here’s one for you Tsuba collectors.. Its not mine but I told a friend I could get some info on it.. any info is most welcome. ian

Hi Raymond Hope you are keeping well… this one I didn’t know where to start, give me swords any time 👍 ian

Thank you Mikolaj I’ll stick with basic Kanji. ian

Help please, I find sword signatures difficult sometimes but this Tsuba takes the biscuit. any help greatly appreciated.. ian

Thank you Moriyama San I will do my best in the future 👏👏 Ian

Thank you Piers unfortunately I blame my ignorance down to Dobre many years ago. You get variations in spelling and meaning from various sources, I never know which one to go by. I know I should know better but I put it down to old age Hope you are keeping well? ian

Hi Bruce Hope these help. best regards ian

Thank you both for your help, it is most appreciated 👏👏 Ian

Help required with this section of a Yamano Mei, I got the rest easily but I’m struggling with this section… I’ve been looking in Sesko’s Tameshigiri but haven’t found anything and so I’m sure some members will have no problem with it. Many thanks in advance. Ian

Thank you all for your opinions, I’m not a collector of fittings but this one I like (so does the wife) Ian
