Some obvious damage that in my opinion accentuates the beauty of the mukade.
Here's a link to some good info on the topic of Shingen Tsuba.

Please accept my apologies and thank you for the reminder.
I meant to say it is available ($1100 USD) and I would post in the selling section.
As it turns out, this is the correct place after all.
