Hi Hamish, Barry is spot on with his comments. The most revealing book for me has been Owari to no tanko and Markus Sesko's fab translation It is necessary to have the the two books. Next I would look at the Haynes catalogues from the early 80's even though the pictures are mainly black and white and his opinions are criticised by some but most love him and won't mater to you one way or another, look don't buy yet. All these books can be got from Grey. Alan.

Hi Darius, No I did mean the first tsuba and the second does have that Higo bobbin design but they don't usually have a dote mimi like that one. Alan.

First one looks like Kumagi or even a bit like Jingo carving to me Alan

Hi guys, how come Barrie's original topic and very legitimate question has gone so far away from it, can't it be answered? I thought a very interesting subject. Alan

Hi Dee, Yes it is a genuine Tsuba and you have hit the nail on the head with your assessment of condition and quality and is not really a collectors item. Regards Alan

Count me in. I also would like a printed copy. Alan

Grev, if I had owned this tsuba and had the work done I would be highly pleased Mike has done an excellent job Alan

I have one with holes like that the Tsuba was a base for a candle stick and the three feet where on the bottom of the Tsuba Alan

I agree with BaZZa ,the second set of pics show two colours one a blue hue and a brown iron flaky colour I would ask for Fords opinion. Alan

Anyone In The U.s. Making Custom Made Fittings Boxes?
Alan Morton replied to nagamaki - Franco's topic in Tosogu
Hello All, Barrie is being shy about what he is able to do. He makes high quality tsuba boxes and also custom fits the tsuba as well as he showed in his pictures if you ask him. cheers Alan. -
Hi Garry, if you contact John Grasso .I don' think Pine is a good Idea when you carve the inside and outside it gets pretty thin and breaks so easily. Contact Nihonto Australia I' m pretty sure he has handles Alan not sure what happened here!!!

Hi all, Im trying to find Heiner Schuetz a friend and fellow collector of Swords and Tsuba from Switzerland. I have an email address but this does not seem to be current for him I'm sure he is well known in his area if someone could forward his email to me I would appreciate it alsushi@optusnet.com.au Alan Morton Cheers Alan

Hi Michael, the best book by a long shot on Owari tsuba I have found is Owari to Mikawa no Tanko , The tsuba Craftsmen from Owari and Mikawa Province and Markus Sesko translation into English if you need it after living there. There is a group of us from Oz heading to Tokyo in November for the DTI we cold meet you there even if you don't drink. Regards Alan

Stephen, if you add Bicarb Soda to the water it stops the water from rusting your tsuba Alan
