Tuba2464a +Shipping This tsuba I found on Sanmie trading to Yoshioka Inaba Nosuke Alan

Hi Dan, I think your tsuba is shakudo and where the petals and flowers are would have been filled with gold amalgam and the nanako area black shakudo and are normally attributed to Yoshioka school. They are often seen with Dragons around the rim or flowers. Its has been over cleaned but could be restored by the Iron Brush clan here Alan

These brass Tsuba have been around since I first started collecting in the 70’s They were always on gunto or other variations of Second World War swords I’ve alway thought of them as genuine but not old. Alan

For the main part I thought we were looking in these fine pieces Bones in the iron and not Tekkotsu, am I wrong? which I've always seen as a mottling in the surface of the tsuba. Im also amazed at what RKG does Alan.

This raised or chased pattern of the Manji character is very similar to the pattern that Ford was demonstrating on his site and his Facebook page about a month ago Alan
