zanilu Posted January 28, 2018 Report Posted January 28, 2018 Dear all. This morning I went rummaging through my junk box and stumbled in this two tsuba. They managed to get in my possession several years ago from a friend that was not a tsuba collector. At the time I was able to find some pictures from the original sellers on ebay. They are not in my area of tsuba study so I would like to have your opinion on them before I take a decision whether to keep them or not. They are definitely low end tsuba that I know but any help on them from you is appreciated. Tsuba 1: It seems that it lost most of its patina. The nakago does not show any sign of having been mounted. Tsuba 2: Thank you in advance for your comments. Best Regards Luca Quote
Greg F Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 They may not be top end but better than junk imo. Greg Quote
zanilu Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Posted January 29, 2018 Yes Greg that was my feeling too but I wanted to have more support to my feeling from other NMB members! Luca Quote
Kurikata Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Both Tsuba are genuine which is a good start. Both are pretty worn and the first one probably over cleaned.But not junk for sure. 1 Quote
