Cello Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 Hi I'm wondering if this tsuba is of any quality or if it's a modern repro etc.... Thanks- Quote
Cello Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Posted July 1, 2015 Figured as much is the Mei even correct at all? Quote
Grey Doffin Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 The mei is spelled right (Umetada Saku) but that means nothing because the tsuba is worthless. Grey Quote
Alan Morton Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 Marcello, it costs nothing to look at genuine tsuba on Grey's site http://www.japaneses...oksandtsuba.com to get a better understanding of what real tsuba are. Also history has proved he is one of the better dealers around. Alan 1 Quote
Cello Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Posted July 1, 2015 Great thanks for the replies ! I will definitely check out his site... I have a decent understanding of blades, but a severe lack of knowledge in the fittings arena lol Quote
Soshin Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 Hi Marcello, Check out my website link below. It is also free and it has many photos and information. http://www.tsubaotaku.com You will notice a little overlap between my website and Grey's website because I have purchase and traded some tsuba with Grey. Contact me via my website or PM if you have any questions. Quote
gauze3539 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 It's a fake. Just look a lot of the real ones by visiting many onlineshops on the vendor link pages or local shows and you will gain the power to distinguish whether a tosugu is fake or not. Jason C Quote
