After a more detailed analysis of this tsuba, it appears that it was probably forged and not cast (see the attached photos). Having shown it to French collectors, they confirmed to me that this tsuba was not cast.
-
Hi everybody, First of all thank you for your warm interest and you comments. Difficult for me to state if my tsuba is cast or not. Probably it is... anyway it has been mounted on a sword. As a final statement which is not objective I like it very much. On the objective side I paid 30 euros for it. Thank you again.

Dear all, Some estimated NMB members have decyphered this tsuba signature as being : right side: 癸巳十月 left side : 心哉彫 Unfortunatly nobody as a smith is referenced with these kanji in books which are available to me. Does someone can find similar tsuba in style to drive me in the right direction ? Thank you.
-
Yes it is. Cast Iron tsuba which has been multi produced in series.
-
Thank you. Focusing on 2 kanji I forgot to see the entire signature. Thank you again.
-
As the title of this thread mention it, I have modestly achieved to decypher : Mune Kane. Can you confirm?
-
Thank you all of you for your investigations. Another enigma to solve. I'll try to find similar tsuba on the web sites . Perhaps by similarities I'll be able to discover what is its origin and school.

Thank you so much Steve and Uwe for your efforts to find the Smith name. After googling all kanji and translation, nothing relevant was displayed. Only jūgatsu as being october (10th month) was clearly understable to me. Thank you again.

Thank you Jean, Please find herewith a picture of this tsuba.
-
Thank you Jean for your interest. I hope someone will be able to decypher the signature. I have found one : 心 being Shin (1st Kanji on the left side)

Any help in translating these kanji would be highly appreciated. Many thanks

My Shonai Shoami Tsuba......Definitively all tsuba of this style are described as belonging to Shonai School.
-
Thank you, all of you for your comments which give me a little confidence in the fact that this tsuba is indeed Japanese. I do not avoid the fact that it might be a modern copy because of its weight [0,3 kg] and thickness [0,8 cm].

Hi NMB experts, Is this tsuba Japanese or Chinese ? What are your views ? Thank you.

Hi Piers, This signature is on a kozuka on the Ura face (which is unusual). I'll take your proposal for more research.
-
Thank you Ron and Barry, Indeed pronunciation can vary from a context to another one. I discovered that 起 can be read as "OKI" even "O". But Haynes doe not disclose any artist with these kanji as KI ICHI KI KAZU OKI ICHI OKI KAZU O ICHI 0 KAZU
-
Hello without answers I tried to make more homework and succeeded in finding this Kanji (KI): 起 Therefore the signature might be KI ICHI. 起一 My problem: I cannot find any artist with such a signature .... Can you bring some information ? Thank you
