Tanto54 Posted July 29, 2019 Report Posted July 29, 2019 Greg, Is this a commercial request? (Are you going to use the information to sell it, or are you just asking about it for your own private collection?) Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted July 30, 2019 Report Posted July 30, 2019 Your tansu doesn't look like any of mine, other than the hardware. I have one from Edo & two from Meiji. Quote
barnejp Posted July 30, 2019 Author Report Posted July 30, 2019 Thank you Ken. It is Meiji. I was concerned about the hardware (whether it was replaced). Sounds like the hardware is "likely" original?? Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted July 30, 2019 Report Posted July 30, 2019 I'd give it a high probablity that the hardware is original.. Maybe it's just the photos & lighting, but the outer wood cabinet looks odd. Also, if you're planning to store swords, are any of the drawers long enough for katana/tachi? Quote
barnejp Posted July 30, 2019 Author Report Posted July 30, 2019 Thank you Ken, Odd? Are you referring to the color of the outer wood. Not planning on storing any swords, since I sold all but one... A nice kogatana with kozuka. Quote
