charlie1 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Posted October 16, 2018 Picked up this guy on a Army sword. It has no business being on that sword. All army mounts except the tsuba, which really didn’t fit right anyway. Anyhow wanted to see if the signature was right. Thanks Charlie S. Quote

Sly Posted October 16, 2018 Report Posted October 16, 2018 Whatever Soten artist it is, he did a good job. Congratulations Charlie, IMHO your Soten tsuba quality is above most of what we currently see in this school. Sly Quote
Stephen Posted October 16, 2018 Report Posted October 16, 2018 I know of A Soten F/K that would go well with that! 1 Quote
