Dear NMB Members:

 

I just acquired these two pieces yesterday from a collection put together in the late 70s or early 80s. Any thoughts on either of these being legitimate "Joi" signatures? The workmanship appears very high grade. Thanks for any input.Sorry for the photo configuration. When I upload them, some are turning horizontal.

 

Regards.

Similar kozuka from Nara Sansaku. I could not find "Joi" tsuba with so much space used for decoration. Usually ura would be left for the most part blank.
