    I have also had a good experience buying a sword from Eric on Facebook, I found him good to deal with excellent communication and the sword was well packaged with prompt shipping I would certainly buy from him again.

    Hi Bruce the photos are quite poor but I couldn’t see any stamps but he’s going to have another look so I will get him to check the guys telling him it’s traditionally made.

    Here is an example of an Ono tsuba I bought from a board member signed Shimomura Fukushige I was wondering if it’s made in the style of Yagyu with the wave theme, it’s pretty heavy for its size it is 8mm thick at the rim and measures 75mm x 65mm the iron seems to have a sandy texture looking forwards to hearing you thoughts.
