kyushukairu Posted March 15, 2018 Report Posted March 15, 2018 I recently listed a few iron tsuba for sale, and whilst flicking through Fuller and Gregory's Japanese Military and Civil Swords and Dirks, recognised one of the tsuba I had put up for sale. Apparently the image depicted in F&G was designed for the type 3/ 1944 gunto, though no known examples exist. I'm not suggesting my tsuba was made for a gunto, as it's clearly Edo era, though thought some others may appreciate the coincidence 1 Quote
Nihontocollector19 Posted March 15, 2018 Report Posted March 15, 2018 of course the one time im broke i would have loved this tsuba Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted June 4, 2021 Report Posted June 4, 2021 Not quite the same design but very similar shape: https://www.ebay.com/itm/164897726329?hash=item2664ab9f79:g:-u0AAOSwzthguduE Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted June 13, 2021 Report Posted June 13, 2021 So, it looks like these were a production line item. Quite interesting. is that when yours Peter? Quote
Itomagoi Posted June 14, 2021 Report Posted June 14, 2021 The tsuba is not mine. I found it on ebay. I find the small details interesting and how they differ. Hopefully we will find more examples. 2 Quote
