Hi Milt, At that price I would be more comfortable with an NBTHK origami. The 'hide' kanji is a little different. The kao as well but may have been drifted. Teruhide on my examples (4) signed on the right while this is on the left like Omori Terumoto. The tagane mei is different as well. Close enough to take a chance for those of gamblers type, but....

Hi Milt & John,

 

Very nice tsuba - was watching it also - I agree about papers , but the biggest problem for me was the small area of damage , centrally placed . I know that that would be the first thing I would see every time I looked at it . That being the case , I would rather put $2500 or so towards something else .

Would I be correct in assuming that the signature would have been applied before the tsuba was adjusted to allow for mounting - there seemed to be a distortion of the bottom character caused by the punch? This could tend to suggest that the sig. was contemporaneous with manufacture ?

Obviously this does not rule out the signature being applied years later etc. but just a thought...

 

Regards

Well, Bushiart are dealers and they are convinced that it is genuine. Interesting point. Was the nakago ana punched before or after the mei was placed? John

yeah, as seller we HATE " sniper "....... but the program does save you $ in the long run as it helps you not get into a bidding war early on.

 

Try it and use my " user name " as reference when you sign up so I get 3 free snipes ( so i can outsnipe you for free as my joke goes )

I have proven many times that sniping saves you money and wins auctions. I know we hate snipers, but if you are serious about winning, you have to do it.
