Hi Francesco. This Tsuba is so terrible ugly... 

 

I can't belive it is Japanese.

It is modern fake piece Francesco. Be careful, there is a guy who make iron tsuba in shape of skull and sell it like antiques. In bad pictures it is not immediately obvious. I let him fool me once, but won't happen again.

Obviously this is modern (and I don't like it).. it is also written in the title "Showa", and Gary has not specified that he wants an ancient tsuba.

Hi

Thanks for the leads but I am looking for Edo period work. I have a couple of Tsuba with " skulls or bones " on the plains theme but would like either a Tsuba in the shape of a skull or a complete skeleton theme. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks
