https://varshavskyco...collection/tsu-0356/ Two from https://klefischauktionen.wordpress.com/ I am keeping my gnarly old hands out of this!

Oh I remember the late 70s !! back Kotter!!

? https://www.samurais...equipment/ts034.html https://blog.goo.ne....0d3adebfd75c6b6c1fa3 the design looks mirror reversed in this one?

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/296351643175 Is it just me or does this look like Grover kissing a mirror or two Proboscis monkeys ?

I found a "Do it yourself Futatsu" just a little work with a hammer! NAH! I don't think so.

I have sixteen images of double "Sho" woodwind instrument like a Pan pipe but I am not sure they qualify because the top and bottom indents are not the same? These are from my utsushi records - no big surprise just how many of the same designs get produced, yet each is an individual not a cast copy. I may as well throw in a Shingen from the Warsaw museum as well Make that 17 "Sho"

It is not my imagination is it, that the under board of the "drying rack" is thicker/wider for the last segments on all the abalone drying racks? Cast or hand forged this is poor workmanship IMHO.

Starting to find others - this one tilted over 90 degrees, does that count? https://www.jauce.com/auction/p1118290518 Smooth sided Myoga https://www.honto-nihonto.com/en/sue-tegai . While there are many Myoga tsuba like this design, they are more Kawari-gata because of the indents for the sides of the flowers/leaves (?) so I don't think they would count.

The left hand side of this guard looks similar? Clouds? But it could be a simplified version of this cloud dragon sukashi design? https://www.carters....ol-c1650-of-four-lo/ Tembo School, c1650, Pierced Cloud Patterns

An incidental outline shape from the Klefischauktionen collection. No information on it unfortunately. The shape seems very rare, I have looked through 3,000 tsuba images and only found two, other than yours! [So far ] This one may well be the ura of the other?

Curran your number three tsuba - I guess you have seen the ones in https://tsubakansho.com/page/2/ ? A popular design it seems.

A paperweight a little like some of the features with Ajiro [mat background] but not the same shape. https://world.seiyud...m/product/tu-120515/ shape? As Steve has pointed out futatsu-mokko-gata could be the shape it is usually associated with Musashi Namako tsuba but they are sukashi not solid plate One reference calls the shape "Kaigu Tsuba" https://ho-sui.com/en/products/鍔-つば-武蔵 that site sells replica tsuba so I doubt the name is accurate.

Deep, deep pockets papered Yagyu tsuba https://www.jauce.com/auction/h1160862639 and a similar past auction https://www.jauce.com/auction/w1073080451 https://www.jauce.com/auction/m1160847457 Papered Yagyu but I would have guessed cast! Seams, crack or folded forge fault? Papered Ohno/Ono that sold for far less? https://www.jauce.com/auction/r1148317429 but when did Ōno suddenly become Ohno I must have missed the memo - I will stick with Sasano's spelling [ŌNO] until he tells me differently

I have to say the seller with the kettle/pot guard is having trouble making up his mind just which school he thinks it belongs to. - Ono, Yagyu, Kanayama, Owari, Akasaka, Higo. This seems to cover a lot of possibilities! https://www.bakumats...1515340973&La=J#here There are 90 Yagyu designs in this "Manuscripts of Yagyu Tsuba-gata" I am sure you can copy the page images for reference - The original book is well out of copyright and the company has sold their book copy in any case. https://www.ebay.it/itm/176628474283 I don't know if this book has many tsuba images, perhaps some of the other members could comment?
