I have been watching this auction here. I will not comment the price as it is the market which has decided. I can only say it stands out among that eBay trash.

 

Do you think it is Jingo? And early?

 

While I like the tsuba, this statement seems a bot bold to me. I might be wrong, I am just beginning to look into the vast topic of Higo tsuba.

I very much doubt it's Jingo of any period. It would appear to be more like this Aizu-Shoami piece on Choshuya's site.

As for the price I think that's pretty reasonable. I certainly could make something like that so cheaply. And I think it's a really satisfying tsuba, one I'd be very happy to own, especially at that price.

Buy these instead: http://www.japaneseswordbooksandtsuba.c ... -books-ito

 

You will get infinitely more for your money.

 

Pete, your advice is excellent, but I have already bought the Ito volumes form Grey. And, to be honest, they have allow me to see that those tsuba were not Jingo.

 

Thanks to those books, I am increasingly interested in Higo. My main focus is on old soft metal and early Owari, but some Higo tsuba also seem to my taste :-) Too bad there are not many around. I have found some Jingo tsuba here: http://www.silk-road.us/higo.html but I am worried about the thin patina...
