First, you show a very nice tsuba! I like it. Sorry for the following question. Is that tsuba a similar design / school? (from my collection). Thank you Regards Chris
-
Hey Mark you helped me and i say thank you The price was $45 inkl. delivery. If that is cheap or not is a personel decission. $100 for a pair is total crazy. But on other hands when i look on ebay, the price for sarute is the same madness.
-
Hello Jean thank you for the answer. I wrote the data under the pictures.
-
Can you help me to take a look on sasano to identify? (I didn't have that book) 1.) mokko shape 77mm ~ 6mm height 125 gr shows wild boars eye's and earthpot's 2.) round shape 78mm ~ 5mm height 81 gr shows wild boar eye's and wild goose Regards Chris I let the first pictures in that post (upside down) they also look better

Thank you for your response Rkojuro. I didn't want to sell it. It's part of my collection.
-
Recieved boardmail that says it is Owari school. Maybe some wide difference?
-
Ok What you think about the price when i would sell it?
-
Thank you Jean. I didn't know excactly what tekkotsu means, maybe strong? The mimi is very massiv. This is the backside. I found a similar looking tsuba (Azuchi-Momoyama to the early Edo period) at richard turners blog. Maybe the same Artist? http://kodogunosekai.com/2011/04/ (little scroll down)

I have a Sukashi Tsuba I think Owari school early / mid edo period. What you think?
-
It's not from me. To make it black is no problem. They take Hepar sulfuris in german "Schwefelleber" to get it black. But i didn't belive that the Tsuba was black, because the rest of the koshirae is not black. You can it heated in the oven between 55° and 85°. Or you dig it in the garden because it is only copper. I didn't see there a problem. I like it as it is.
-
It is black when you look from this angle. From the side it is pure copper. Did you mean that?
-
What cleaning you mean Jean? I took a very weak brush to geht the dust away. What you see on the pictures? Nobuaki Ujifusa There is no patination away. I think you interpret into something that isn't there.
-
My bad deal is coming today After cleaning the koshirae and cleaning the blade. The 16. centuri Dotanuki Nobuaki looks not so bad. The Waki has an nice ww2 tank commander koshirae and fits well in the saya. One Seppa is a leather one and the Ashi ring is missing. What you think. Tomorrow i take a deeper look on the second blade the Ujifusa.
-
Maybe Stephen. I look when i have it. Than i decide. Two nihonto over 400 years old. The first one have seen many things. Thats right.
-
I bought a second one reading Hida no Kami Fujiwara Ujifusa? 1596 - 1615 The seller bought the two blades 30 years ago in Holland for round 200 Dollar from a collector. He wanted ever restore them but now he is old and needs the money. I didn't know if the blade is good or not. But i think its old too. Maybe 17 century. And i want to give them a chance for restore.
-
Yes it is special. It is invisible Yet is see it. Looks old
-
Here some better pictures i recvied. I hope with a good polish the blade will be back on life.
-
Then it is this smith? Nobuaki ID NOB642 Province Higo Start Era Tensho (1573-1592) End Era Bunroku (1592-1596) Active Period 1573-1596 School Dotanuki Source Rating Reference/Page Hawley 15 NOB642
-
All are very beautifull. Great stuff!
-
Is it possible the sword was made for Fujiwara Shigenori from Nobuaki Dotanuki in Higo? Shigenori was the shogun begining 17c.
-
I bought it now for 700 EUR. It's ok.
