Rodenbacher Posted August 5, 2014 Report Posted August 5, 2014 Dear Gentlemen, and here another question. This Tsuba was sold to my as Owari. What do you think? It has really prominent Tekkotsu which look like bones under skin, the best I ever saw (but who am I?). You can even see one of them in the front view(upper right of the mimi). But what about the carving in the surface? What about the motif, which is rather unusally for Owari (in my opinion...). I really need your help here! The Tsuba is 79mm in height, thickness is 4mm at the seppa-dai and the same at the mimi. Patina is fantastic, deep chocolate brown. Best regards Peter Quote
hxv Posted August 5, 2014 Report Posted August 5, 2014 Peter, It doesn't look Owari to me, and not Kyo Sukashi, either. So, a safe bet might be Shoami. Regards, Hoanh Quote
Soshin Posted August 5, 2014 Report Posted August 5, 2014 Hi Peter, With iron bones like that, shape of rim, shape of seppa-dai, thickness, and design of ryo-hitsu ana I would go with Ko-Shōami. Can we see some photos with better lighting? This might be just my iPhone. Quote
Rodenbacher Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Posted August 7, 2014 Okay, hope, these are better Quote
Rodenbacher Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Posted August 11, 2014 Thank you very much, Gentlemen! Peter Quote
Soshin Posted August 11, 2014 Report Posted August 11, 2014 Hi Peter, Nice tsuba thanks for sharing. Quote
