    I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with it( it’d make an incredible case) it’s just that it recently sold on eBay for 1/15 of the asking price . I do not mean this as an insult.
  2. Frank B
    Somewhere around that
  3. Frank B
    It went from $1,000 on eBay to $15,000 on NMB?

    It looks like a later Meiji period export piece

    Gotta agree with you, the set itself is excellent but the kurikata is incredible.

    What attribution does the koshirae have?
  7. Frank B
    If sold to a nmb member I'll donate 15% of the sale price to help out Ford.
  8. Frank B
    Discounted 20%.

    If anyone is interested in the kozuka, it is for sale here: https://www.raindragonfineartandantiques.com/product-page/accessory-knife-handle-kozuka It has since been professionally restored by Marcus Chambers, and comes in a custom box. Thank you

    My initial gut feeling says ko kinko as well. The carving is very deep as well.

    The menuki look like they are from the cast school of fittings.

    Apart from the nbthk which is the "professional opinion", Ray's opinion is very well regarded and I agree with him here that's its not close.

    Can you post some photos.
  15. Frank B
    That second set looks familiar.
  16. Frank B
    Yes, I do not believe any tsuba were made prior to Tokujo.
  17. Frank B
    Not Ko-Kinko imho
  18. Frank B
    There were innumerable "netsuke" made as merely trinkets.

    These are all modern carvings, likely made in the mid to late 20th century for the tourist market.

    What's the pressing need for a signature?
  21. Frank B
    They look cast to me.

    Are these Ko Goto?

    Frank B replied to Surfson's topic in Tosogu

    Hypothetically if these were sent for papers, I'd be fairly sure it would come back ko-kinko.
  23. Frank B
    As long as it is professionally/respectfully restored there shouldn't be an issue.
  24. Frank B

    Are these Ko Goto?

    Frank B replied to Surfson's topic in Tosogu

    I would say ko-kinko.

    Kozuka - Goto School

    Frank B replied to raaay's topic in Tosogu

    That'd be very informative, I'm sure many would appreciate it.
