Hi Henry The watermark description threw me for a loop as well. Please see pics

Hello, I am a novice and there is a tsuba advertised as coming from the Wushu lineage with a Musashino Watermark. Could anyone assist what this means? Wushu seems to be a style of Chinese martial arts and Musashino I guess signifies an area of Tokyo?

Yeah the guy either did not know or was not honest, he stated the smith completed the blade during WWII so saved me some time and expense.
