    many thanks gentlemen. i wish i could read kanji but my memory span is very limited these days and everything just goes in one ear and out the other....

    blade is of poor condition and too many openings and flaws.....still interested in the maker if anyone can decypher the kanji please
  8. loiner1965

    many thanks gentlemen , i emailed the seller and told him that i thought it was a copy when he contacted me about shipping....i was 90% sure it was but the 10% got me curious lol....thankfully wasnt stung for alot and it will be sold on

    another purchase off the cuff so to speak and chances are its a chinese copy but my knowledge is very limited in tosogu. comes in its own box and was given to the seller in Japan before it came into my procession. previous ownerdoesnt know where it was before Japan.....as always my appreciation in any help given

    its too blurry for my untrained eyes to dicypher. can anyone make it out?
  19. loiner1965
    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
  20. loiner1965
    lol told you stephen i cannot get my head round tsubas
  21. loiner1965
    another pic
  22. loiner1965
    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
  23. loiner1965
    many thanks gentlemen.....much appreciated. i will try and find out if it is a cast copy but it does look low grade
  24. loiner1965
    sorry stephen. i tried myself to rotate pic but cannot. opologies to all
  25. loiner1965
    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
