Gwyn. Any type of kachimushi dragonfly tsuba ok? What price range? PM me if necessary.

 

Sorry, just reread your post. Mine is more Mokko than round.

Iron, Amida yasuri, two udenuki holes, no side Hitsu Ana. One dragonfly coming over the top edge. Unsigned.

Dimensions: 7.7, 7.1, 0.4 cm.

Hi Gwyn,

Don't know if it is smallish enough but I do have this one:

Recently got hold of this one, roundish and medium sized. Measures 7.4cm high by 6.9cm wide. Have pictures that are more clear and less pixelated. Feel free to PM me.

Might as well post mine then, and make life easier, although Gwyn might not have noticed the answers here.

Hi everyone, thanks for your help. I have “customised” a modern tsuba for now by inserting a silver tonbo menuki on it. Will use that one until the right one comes along.

1. is pricey, but you could try to talk to the seller, however i think is more on the big side

2. is subtle, nice momoyama aesthetic

 

Both on ebay
