Here one of mine!

It's an Easy translation,you have to try a little more And Why a new thread?

A very common blame done by newbies "you don't see things with my point of view so you are snobbish" nothing new!!! perhaps it's just because we have seen much more quality tsuba (used or not used) than you that it's more difficult for us to be in admiration in front of every rusty metal piece that we see!!! but I agree with you sometimes there is some ridiculous debate like the one you mention about the soft metal tsuba!

secret disney admirer! all these tsuba are unsigned!!

which means : we don't know anything!!
