Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 I'm kindly asking feedbacks about the possibility these two items are made of turtle shell. They look very similar to turtle stuffs my wife has. They are on an Edo Koshirae for a Tanto. Thanks in advance for your replies, if any, and for your time in any case. first : Quote

Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Posted October 31, 2006 Hi MK. A fellow forumite that makes fukuro in pure silk contacted me for putting an item of theirs in the auction. But SFI is now in major structural changes and i've not get reply yet. As soon as i've confirm of this I'll advise in the sticky that was so generously made for this purpose. For now there is a WWII NCO Tsuba. If you mean Japanese cups and bottles I've 3/4 items that could be trown in, but not Konoe (Imperial Guard). Cheers. Quote
