Thanks guys. I'll see if I can get some feedback via NBTHK via Paul (or others who might be suggested)

Question for the group. I have a set of NBTHK papers for a Tokubetsu Hozon Yagyu Tsuba. I recently noticed that the punched Kanji over the serial number denote hozon and not T.H.. Given the tsuba itself and the rest of the description on the papers I'm thinking this is a clerical error. Anyone have any other explanations? In the photo of the punched kanji the lower set is the Yagyu papers compared against another set of T.H. papers. Thanks Jeff J Numbers Low Res.pdf Full Papers.pdf

Markus, I'm in. Jeff J

Hi James, I'm in as well. Jeff

Sorry guys, file was too large last time and didn't realize it. Have ammended the post to include the photo of the other side. Jeff

Thanks guys. Here is the other side. As to the maker I'm assuming one of the Masatsunes from 1800 or so as well. Seems too late and clean to be the earlier headmaster H 04737.0. Hard to say but does appear to be very good at his craft (at least in my opinion). Jeff Jones

Thought I'd share this one with the group. Be interested to hear what folks think. Any thoughts as to which Masatsune this is? Jeff Jones

Hi Dave, I'm sure you've seen this already but near identical tsuba to this on ebay currently: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tsuba-Snow-flow ... 3a8599f5d4 Yours looks have either been better kept or better execution. Jeff Jones

Thanks Pete, I've contacted the museum. Jeff

Hi All, I am looking for a picture of the tsuba represented by reference D183 in the Baur Collection book. In my copy the tsuba go from D177 to D184. Seems like a printing error perhaps as the page numbering isn't off. Appreciate the help. Thanks Jeff Jones
