Thank you all for your input, I have looked at the examples you have posted and I think it looks more like Hizen… Thank you all again. Ian

Thank you Dale, yes Jean it is magnetic… I’m surprised at the detail and it has a gorgeous black patina, the inlay is so fine…. Ian

I’m not a fittings person so please forgive my lack of knowledge on the subject. I’ve had this Tsuba for 10+yrs could you please educate me about it.. Ian

Thank you Ray That was a lot quicker than I expected.. have a great Christmas. Ian

Here is one for someone with time on their hands, and very knowledgeable 👍 Has anyone any idea as to what this might be? I don’t know where to begin, the top section looks like a flock of seagulls at Blackpool.. any help is greatly appreciated.. Ian.

Thank you Steve & Moriyama, I had a friend look at Sesko’s book Tameshigiri but he couldn’t find anything. have a good Christmas Ian

Thanks Uwe I was thinking everyone started their holidays early, I was told it was a cutting test but can’t find any info ☹️☹️☹️ Merry Christmas 👍 Ian

Hi Can anyone please translate this, it looks easy but I can’t get my head around it. thank you in advance Ian PS I know it’s early but… Merry Christmas to all .

I’ve known Bill since the early 70s , last saw him at the To-Ken society meeting at St Helens 19th July where he was in his usual good form…. I was at Birmingham yesterday and didn’t hear anything so assume he’s got his feet up somewhere 👍 Ian

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
