Just wondering if there is an agent in the UK so can get tosogu papered? I presume the costs involved would be prohibitiv but just wondering.

So nice! How would that crack have formed? Was it there from the start and just developed?

Nice detailing, what's the mei?

Thank you so much ????. Stupid question, I presume they are attributing to the kinai school or are they not being specific?

For the first one, the centre design a helmet crest?

Hi George, after a bit of research i wonder if the shield shaped object is in fact a Dharma Wheel. I can just make out what could be tomoe shapes in the center which could represent the circle of life. The dragon toes are hard to make out but looks like 3. Perhaps all imagery on the tsuba is buddist related. thanks

Hi George, closes ups attached. Would the dragon motif be a page turner?
-
Would anyone be kind enough to identify the theme? Appears to be a dragon? Flowers/plum tree, a book and a plate/mirror of some kind? The tsuba appears to have a almost black coating, thick and heavy around 8cm.

While I can appreciate the rarity, i just dont think the workmanship is that good. Am i missing something? Maybe its just the design that puts me off
