Help Needed With Fuchi/kashira Set

[b.hennick]

I really like iron fittings and dragons. Here I is a new set for me to share with you. Please help with the translation.

I know nothing about fittings, that being said they do not look like repros to me, I get the feeling of Jakushi, sorry no help on translation the grass script is difficult

Domo arrigato gozaimasu. Thanky you Morita -san. The work looked to be Jukashi to me but my reading of Sanjin came out as "mountain man"

As always your help is appreciated. Bzza (Barrie) - you must be kidding.

Ah well, as I said left field.  A dear friend privately PMd me "Hi Barry have you been hitting the red wine again ???".  It seems pointless now to give my reasons - and I did have them - why I thought the fuchigashira were repros.  I am reasonably well acquainted with Jakushi work, but in this case I did indeed "shoot from the lip".  A very instructive result thanks to Morita san.

Best regards to all,

BaZZa.

The nice thing about getting old, is you have something to blame stuff on
