Jake, unfortunately I am not an expert, only a yagyu and futagoyama collector.

HI Brano, nice tsuba. can you tell more info about schools and design. Best Peter

Last stand I saw was 121000 yen with ten bits, the night before the auction ends. Yagyu for that little money is really a bargain. A tsuba for the western collectors ?

Dee, Mr. Hunt calls them GROUP OF OWARI TSUBA, a good definition

At least a NORISUKE futagoyama.. ( and found currans TH yagyu ) http://www.tsubacollector.com/4.html

Sold at auction, with more than 10 bids. A bargain..?? https://www.aoijapan...ubetsu-kicho-tosogu/

No yagyu but ohno..

Thanks for sharing Malcolm and John, I missed it..

Thanks Steve for sharing, looks also like a big collection..

AOI tells us there are some kizu.. Ask for more info and pics..

Sold.. https://www.zacke.at...&sd=1&pp=96&pn=3&g=1
