    Second choice

    I would like to get fuchi kashira and menuki to go with a tsuba. Any recommendations on who could make top notch shinsakuto fittings? Pattern is similar to this. http://www.aoijapan.com/fuchi-kashira-mumei-plant-design Mike

    I would not assume that it was all made in one era. An early mirror fitting that was carved with two ana later and had gold added and ana filled in would be my first guess.

    Well, one thing can be said is that this is an interesting topic. Probably the longest post I hav3 seen to date on this board.

    Its a really nice tsuba for your first.
  6. manfrommagnum
    This would go nicely http://www.shibuiswords.com/haynesTsu82.html

    Not sure what that means since the sign of the cross has nothing to do with humans. Iy is only the sign of the trinity and crucifixion. Did she explain more on that?

    Very nice and unique

    Well, I have to say that the old addage is true, things are worth only what others are willing to pay, informed or not. I think it is one of the nicest tsuba i have seen. But would never pay that much...

    It took me a millisecond to get mesmerized by his page. Im sold on it. I hope he can do makie, as i am thinking of getting elaborate on the saya.

    I wonder is using an SEM and removing some of the Crucifix on the suspect tsuba would reveal under-surface patination that could be compared using MPIB-MS for chemistry differences. Then a hypothesis can be formed about the time of application of the cross relative to tsuba manufacturing.

    Ok, second thought. ...i think we have a match. If only i could find the owner..

    Ford, I think Hamano Noriyuki work seemed to be a little different look. But I found a very convincing Hamano Tyokuzui Kaou tsuba today that may be awfully close. Still not sure I am on the money. http://www.seiyudo.com/assets/galleries/105/tu-08061-d.JPG Thanks. Mike

    I dont think so. Soten work is a little more cartoonish IMO.
  15. manfrommagnum
    Yes. I haven't decided if I will do a kyushyu motif or put my soten tsuba on it.
  16. manfrommagnum
    I dont think it is hamano. But could they be Teruyoshi? Thanks Mike

    This is a great deal for a buyer. I just paid more for something similar made a few years ago....and this has koshiare and is antique!
  18. manfrommagnum
    Fyi.. got a hold of Jeff and just sent payment.
  19. manfrommagnum
    Thanks! The extra two inches makes a big difference in handling performance for me. But I am going to give it serious consideration since Jeff may have checked outm

    When i last talked to him he agreed that if he sold it he would let me know to whom. Otherwise, he had it a few months ago.
