kaigunair Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 Got this off the boards a few months back. Hard to date because the hitsuana Ana aren't standard, but it feels old and the design of the ginger and wild geese also has an older feel. The execution of the details in the myoga ginger seem similar to owari but iron is more dark grey black. Kyo-sukashi ginger appears more refined. Fold lines in the rim but no large bones noted. No three layer construction for later akasaka, hence the Proto akasaka guess. I recent came across an eBay auction with old NBTHK papers to echizen. The echizen I'm use to is a lot more details and dragons...? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tsuba-Watermark ... 2a410feee8 This one is thick and measures 66mm across, 71mm high and 8mm thick. Would appreciate any guidance as to school. Also, would a pre-edo (momoyama or muromachi) period call be reasonable? (I rotated them on my iphone but they didn't post as such...? will try to fix this....) Quote
