I received my tsuba a few minutes ago as stated: Scheduled delivery date - Wednesday, 13/05/2026. Updated yesterday to 14/05/26 Very well packed with the papers and box The tsuba was wrapped in tissue inside the box with a pillow (normally a no no) but in this case there was no damage 8 pages (what a pain for the auction house) with an interesting comment: This artworks are exempt from Reciprocal Tariffs' under chapter 99 Secondary Classification 9903.01.32, as informational materials. These goods are ART antiques and more than 100 years old. HS code: 9705100090 I was surprised that I didn't have to pay import duty A very nice Kanayama tsuba, good condition with a lovely patina, with papers, just so pleased I wish the best to other buyers from this auction and I hope you are as happy as me with your purchase

Tomorrow will be too soon but at least it is acknowledged Your shipment from IT0371 Mg Srl Czerny is on the way. Scheduled delivery date Wednesday, 13/05/2026 Must be a nightmare for the auction house Just wondering who to stab with my dangerous tsuba!!!!!!!!!

Interesting. I'll wait

I'll try - thanks

I still haven't received my tsuba which seems too long for me I've emailed a week ago but no reply and tried again today No tracking number Has anyone else outside the EU received their item?

I bought the shishi yesterday. The fine detail looks good

I originally had this as H 06031.0 but as far as I can see the kanji doesn't match

Thanks Colin but I can't determine who the smith is as there are no descriptions

I can't get enough information to pin this mei down to the correct Haynes number so I'd appreciate some help Haynes No.pdf

Thanks for sharing. A very nice video that shows the quality so well

Great tsuba

This is from the Birmingham Museum which I photographed quite a few years ago so I can't really comment

This the one Dale mentioned

Thanks Jean Lets see if there are any more comments and then I'll decide which term I will use

For my records I use the definition Kanagushi (tachi) Looking at this term again it looks like these alternatives are a better description a) Tachi Kanagushi b) Tachi Kanagu Shi Is a or b the most suitable definition?
