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?

I would have liked to buy the Onin tsuba but too much for me I won this one. Nice to recent papers #218

Being such an import auction I wondered if any NMB members wished to show what tsuba they bought and if anyone regretted not going just one more bid

Just awaiting the shipping costs and asked the to use the correct tariff code which they will probably ignore

Today I received an invoice for the papered Kanayama I bought The email stated I will be contacted by a shipping subcontractor which I hope id not too expensive Just letting other know as it is all new to me

No email yet. When I log in at the bottom of the page it says how much I owe in total and their bank details but as yet no invoice I think I have 15 days to pay

I wasn't sure where to place this request I won a Kanayama tsuba at the recent Czerny's auction and unsure what to do next so any advice will be helpful Ideally it would be nice if someone could pick but it is a big ask I think they use a courier service which is independent from the auction house In a German auction the couriers cost were ridiculously high and a NMB member close to the auction house picked it up for me I would pay any costs incurred With thanks Grev
