many thanks ray..... will look into this mei further -
its too blurry for my untrained eyes to dicypher. can anyone make it out?
-
many thanks gentlemen.....my only saving grace is i never buy on impulse and always asked more learned members. the only tsuba i have ever bought apart from years ago and the kishima sisters / moderator before brian comfirmed it genuine was from grey on here. this fool rarely parts with his money lol
-
lol told you stephen i cannot get my head round tsubas
-
another pic
-
can anyone tell me about the school or period this tsuba relates too. i quite like it but completely baffled by them.....good or bad comments welcomed
-
many thanks gentlemen.....much appreciated. i will try and find out if it is a cast copy but it does look low grade
-
sorry stephen. i tried myself to rotate pic but cannot. opologies to all
-
sorry stephen. its how my friend sent me it and without thinking i just copied and pasted. do they often use the smith or is it just ramdom names etc
-
looks like a cheap cast copy but just curious about the mei.....do they just use any name or is there a certain namr they use all the time. many thanks
-
I put a pic of the kanji in the general nihonto discussion forum so you can take a peek if you wish I think it's gimei but my knowledge is not high enough to say a definite yes
-
Will do over weekend as away at min
-
i put he wrong pic in the other section so i will post it here
-
sorry......trying to post another pic but pc playing up. i think its gimei but they is always that doubt in the back of my mind etc. i cannot find another mei of kinmichi of around 1680 to compare it too
