    Opinions please

    Thanks for everybody's comments. All were really helpful. Mimi is Shakudo as can now be seen. I always knew that the Tsuba was not Goto but thought it was slightly better than average. I still feel that the right hand Mei was done by the carver although Gimei and the left hand Mei was a spurious later addition. Any further comments are very welcome (good or bad). Many thanks, Pete

    Thanks Dave You are right would be better mumie. However i think the kanji on the right was done by the same hand as the carving. Mimi is good quality shakudo. Size is 73 by 78mm. Thanks Pete

    Hi NMB, I like the carving on this Tsuba but I'm not sure on the Mei. Can I have your opinions please? Many thanks, Pete

    Have you seen this Tsuba on Ebay (US)? Seems very much the same mould as one I have, look forward to your opinions. Both the Tsuba on Ebay and my own appear to be of the same size, please do not comment of the silly price.
  8. Yes there is a 24 stamped. I was told the tsuba came from an old german collection, why on earth they stamped a number in it i dont know but i bought it anyway.
  9. Recently purchased this but I'm not sure on the translation. It's signed on the back. All comments welcome, thanks.
  10. My contribution, I'm not sure on the signature though. Peter
  11. Dear Experts, I bought this tsuba last year. I didn't buy it as joi school. Can I have you opinions please? Thanks, Pete
