Thanks Steve, I believe you are absolutely right in that the work put into the piece is more deserving of appreciation rather than the period it was made in. I am also thinking it is more of Japanese origin but yeah, who really knows. Anyways, thank you for the replies.

Hey Steve, thank you for sharing this as it is strikingly similar to mine. Do you know if yours is of Japanese or Chinese origin as well as a range for the date it was made? Thanks, Dave

Thank you.

I recently purchased a Tsuba with tokubetsu kicho papers. The papers state it has a nanban style which is very apparent. I was wondering if the Tsuba was made with the nanban style in Japan or if it was foreign made to begin with. Any help is very appreciated.

Sorry Geriant, you are absolutely right. I should have clarified that as the total length. Thanks for pointing that out!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you

This is a ko-wakizashi with a hirazukuri blade. It is 23 in long.

Any help is appreciated
