 Found this tsuba for very little money today. A decent amount of dirt and rust on this one. I know its a iron wakizashi  tsuba and that's about all. Just looking for some more information. Thanks for the help!!! 

 

Cheers,

 

Charlie

These are very common castings, the one you are looking at in fact more worn out than most, some had touches of gold overlay, and fine details - - depends how much izarae  (Lit. to clear a cast piece) was done after casting. These attachment pictures are other examples, in fact the large detailed example is one I got cheap nearly 30 years ago, I would not buy it now!
