I am thinking of purchasing a pair of Daisho Tsukas, and would like some advice on a couple of questions I have, if possible?

 

1) How old do these appear to be? (listed as 100 yrs old)

2) How much should I pay? (listed as £200)

The quality worries me somewhat and I'm not sure they're quite what they claim to be.

Hi Dick.

 

I think you are right to have concerns about the quality. Do I see a seam on the lower edged of the kashira? These look like reproduction to me from the images, the nanako isn't what it wants to be and the "inlay" looks like applied paint.. On the other hand what sort of quality would you hope to get for £200? I can't imagine that you would get much pleasure from owning these.

 

Regards
