Cher Patrice, I wouldn't know, I bought them at an auction like this. But the marks on the most of them let me think your way.

The answer about the 'mei' is here: http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/29155-kozuka-mei-mitsu/?do=findComment&comment=295734 And now... some more information on the artist?
-
Waw... Kojo has a "doctor's handwriting" as they call it in Belgium Morita-sensei.
-
Some members were already very helpful in the topic http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/22511-just-acquired/?do=findComment&comment=295722 Any other suggestions for this mei? Thanks!
-
Patrice, On your request, the back sides (in same order as the first picture above). The signed one is the second from the left.
-
Thx Jean

Jean, I just looked into 'Le petit Hara' (Robert Harawoy). There are more than 100 Mitsu... And no second kanji like the one on the kozuka
-
Jean, I read the first kanji as KŌ - or hika(ru) - as in nikkō , gekkō , ... (Kanji 1358 in the Nelson dictionary). I did't find the second one for the moment. Thanks for your reply!

Put my new glasses on, and... Found a signature on the side of the kozuka with the fan-mask-box! Strange place to put a mei.

Hello Stephane, C'est noté. But the first tsuba I sell is still to come Best regards, Yves.

Hello Stephane, I'm only a little collector. I'm not selling any of my Japanese things. But I'm happy with your demand. It means that it's a good tsuba. Kind regards, Yves.

Thanks Steven. I first thought is was a rat or mouse, but with a big tail that couldn't be... I just looked up the story of the Badger tea kettle and that's it! Thanks again!

Hello, Just found this tsuba on a flea market nearby... I'd like to 'restore' the missing pieces, but I don't know what was inserted in the left upper part. There is a kind of silver(?) and yellow metal in the gap. Are all those scratches made by removing the insert? Is this tsuba worth to spend time in restoration or should I leave it as it is? Thanks Yves55
-
Thx! Any link on how to 'revive' a rusty tsuba?
