christianmalterre Posted December 27, 2016 Author Report Posted December 27, 2016 Thank you Henry! this is a Kinai i suppose? (mounted on one of the Tokugawa house koshirae) ? very nice! thank you again! Christian Quote
Henry Wilson Posted December 27, 2016 Report Posted December 27, 2016 You're welocome Christian. I am not sure about the attribution of the tsuba but it is from a koshirae apparently owned by Yuki Hideyasu and the Echizen Matsudaira family. The write-up says it could be a Higo style koshirae prototype. Posted from iPhone so sorry if the pics are upside down. Quote
christianmalterre Posted December 27, 2016 Author Report Posted December 27, 2016 Great info Henry! arigato! ! Quote
