Jiro49 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Posted August 16, 2015 I have a chance to purchase this tsuba with a tanto. Its obviously over cleaned, but I would like thoughts on the mei and if this looks like an edo utushi or older? I apologize as I only have this one picture of it. Thanks!! Quote
Brian Ayres Posted August 16, 2015 Report Posted August 16, 2015 The missing sekigane as well as the insert that was in the kogai hitsu-ana being missing leads me to believe it was either badly corroded or in a fire and they fell out. Quote
Peter Bleed Posted August 16, 2015 Report Posted August 16, 2015 Sure looks burned to me. Whatever the mei says, bringing this back would be a challenge. Peter 1 Quote
Pete Klein Posted August 16, 2015 Report Posted August 16, 2015 Edo gimei Nobuie in poor condition. Theme is tea ceremony implements. I used to have one just like it but in much better condition. 2 Quote
