Hi all. Not so good then :-) it does feel fresh but i didn't pay much so nothing lost. At least i could put a decent tsuba in the box it came with. Peter
-
few more pics, maybe clearer, any ideas on theme, school, age? thank you, Peter
-
Hello all I hope to get some information on my latest purchase. Many thanks. Peter on closer inspection there seems to have been tiny chisel marks under the 'gold' wash that was applied to the tsuba on both sides, Peter
-
Thanks again for your input Jean and thank you Chris for the clear translation place and date, Peter
-
Thank you Jean and Sabastien, Masa kiyo has been mentioned, but not masa nao, the puzzle goes on, is there anything in the hamon , hada etc to point favourably to either or era to narrow the search? Peter

hello all ..I think we need a better photo of that part of the mei to know for sure. The picture above isn't the best to make a call with certainty.... ___________ Chris Bowen I hope you can see a little more from these pics Chris and others

hi Adam, not at all , Tanto is fine i was just reading up a little and wasn't sure how precise you need to be in terminology on tanto/wakazashi .as far as anything else on the Tanto could any one say if the details in it points to revealing the smith , as there where conflicting views earlier in the post, also school as i think the 'Toran ' hamon was favoured by the smiths of Osaka (settsu province) many thanks, Peter

looking at the pics they seem dull i thought they where better,
-
Hello again Gents im hoping to put on more picture of the Tanto so that it may make it better place its Smith and original home, could it be late muromachi or Shinto? it is 30.2cm in nagasa, blade 21.5 so is this ko wakizashi or sunnobi tanto? the file marks are kesho yasuri. Hamon seems Notare Gonome, it looks nice like a mountain landscape, so maybe Toran, lots of activity. any and all additional input is apprieciated. Peter

hello can anything be done to revive may be to much to ask but clean it up a bit? Peter

hi Ford, are you thinking cast? it wouldnt hurt if it is, i just thought the hollyhock form on a tsuba was unusual. not sure if these are any better,

Thank you for the link Franco. Generally are these blades sought after or is it an individual preference? Peter
