    Here you are Bruce. I bought mine on Yahoo Japan. It was like fiding a needle in a haystack. It has quite a dark patina. Edit : the tsuba stands are from Tobias. https://www.tsuba-no-kake.com/

    Here is a couple of photos of my "civilian gunto" tsuba. I bought the 6th one from Mark "DARTHLAKER" recently. It is the one in tsuba box.

    Will post them soon though I guess each pattern has already been posted here separately.

    Just added this one to my civilian gunto tsuba small collection. So far I have 6 different patterns.

    Trystan, Does yours have a hamon?

    Chris BOWEN has a good togishi in Japan. The price and waiting is inferior to togishi in the USA. You shall ask Chris Bowen directly. Chris can take care and handle this project. I already had a sword polished in Japan trought his service. Does the blade have koshirae or a habaki at least? If not, you might have a shirasaya made for it.

    Were zoheito oil quenched, had artificial hamon or no hamon at all? Nice and interesting piece.

    I have the same pattern. My understanding is that these brass tsuba are from 1930' made for iaido and refitted for gunto.

    Good for metal recycling.

    Which polisher?
  12. Bruno
    Hi Frank, You can contact Chris Bowen, his polisher has in general the poish done in less than a year and he can offer shinsa service. https://www.ejapaneseswords.com/

    I just sent my splitting shirasaya to John TIRADO.

    Yes, I saw the wrong typing. Don't think I can correct it in the title.

    Hi, Posting here on behalf of a friend who recently acquired this tsuba. Not being a tosogu guy myself, may you please share your feelings and expertises about this one? Many thanks.

    Chronopost or Colissimo international?

    Nihonto Tanren Denshujo group, great sword. Most of the tosho from this smithing school are top end.

    That looks like this one. I was aware of the final price... I forwarded the link of this thread to my friend so that he can follow the discussion. Thanks all.

    Hi, I post this on behalf of a friend, as I know very little on tsuba in general. He bought it recently and could not find a similar example yet. Any info regarding, age, school, style etc, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Does that mean shinshinto, gendaito or shinsakuto are too recent to get Juyo papers, or none of them were submitted?
  25. Bruno
    Shall you provide smith name at least.
