Hello, Mariusz thank you for nice comment, I really appreciate it. Will try to find and read much more about Shoami and edo tosho, ( maybe it was made for gift only my thought )- of course, that we will never know. I have to say that in hand tsuba feel very good. David of course I bought it because I like. When I say-( I hope that my purchase was okay ) I did not want to please strangers but myself. Best regards and thank you all. Miha G.

Hello Sebastien, I looked and I have to admit that it looks that is lead. Thank you that you noticed. Regards, Miha G.

Hello David and Barrie, I buy it because I somehow like this tsuba, it is nice simple shape maru gata and has nice plugs for both hitsu ana filled with copper, the hira on tsuba is loking strait smoth iron finish and mimi has interesting fine gold nunome. I forgot to mention that the weight of tsuba is over 200g. it is very heavy. I hope that my purchase was okay, Regards, Miha G.

Greetings. This is my first purchase of iron tsuba and I have problems to determine age and school. My opinion is that could probably be made in edo period, medium quality. Studying Iron Tsuba is very difficult field, so I ask for some comment if is possible. measurements are height - 8,62 cm width - 8,46 cm thickness at mimi - 5,4 mm thickness at seppa dai - 5,6 mm Best regards Miha G.

Greetings. My opinion to mr. Chris Bowen question. I think if someone owns a legal documents of item, For example-ownership of great great parents and posesion of item and its history. I Think that they are the true owner.( this is, in theory, in practice it can also be otherwise) Stephen T, I've watched your you tube comparison with old scroll oshigata picture but I dont see yours prfect match. I think that you position of yokote is on wrong spot. If you put yokote in line then you get a different result. So I do not really understand your findings. I did not want to offend anyone this is just my opinion. Sorry for my bad english. Best regards Miha G.

Good price for the real masterpice and beauty. Miha G.

I think that the menuki is made ​​in the technique called katabori. Gentlemen if you can give some comment on the techniques I would be very happy. Miha G.

greetings. I like all nihonto schools and their blades, especially old ones, as Peter mentioned earlier. Miha G.

Greetings, I am interested in your opinion in which school coud this menuki be attributed to and what technique coud be called. My guess is shakudo gold iroe material-? technique-? Length- 3,8cm . 3,4cm width- 1,6cm . 1,4cm weight- 5,1g . 4,6g Thank you. Miha G.

I am glad That it is not hagire because it is very nice. Regards and Merry Christmas to all NMB members, Miha G.

Greetings, I think I see hagire, I hope I'm wrong and that this is only seen in picture. Otherwise a very interesting and nice piece of history. Regards, Miha G.

Thank you Eric T. to showing some nice examples and good explanation. Best regards. Miha G.
