Steffieeee Posted November 25, 2019 Report Posted November 25, 2019 Possibly looking for an early tsuba, the earlier the better. I'm assuming early fuchi kashira don't really turn up but if they do looking for them as well
ROKUJURO Posted November 25, 2019 Report Posted November 25, 2019 Steffie,I have a KO-TOSHO for sale in case you are interested in one from about 1450. I bought it a few years ago from Alfred Tan ( https://japanesesword.com/ ).Dimensions are 92 mm diameter, thickness about 2 mm. Price is € 290.-- plus shipping.Kind regards,Jean CollinGermany
C0D Posted November 26, 2019 Report Posted November 26, 2019 Steffie, do you have a budget? What size you look for?
johnnyi Posted November 26, 2019 Report Posted November 26, 2019 If you've got a little money to spend, Elliott ("shibuiswords") has some particularly old kagami-shi tsuba, one dating possibly to late Kamakura period. They are particularly scarce. You might want to talk to him, he's a nice guy. John
johnnyi Posted November 26, 2019 Report Posted November 26, 2019 Aye, very nice! Almost identical to lot #1 Calwell sale Sotheby's 1994 where it was described as "Large Hoju Tsuba Kofun Bunka Period (300-645). Yeah, pretty old! John
Steffieeee Posted November 27, 2019 Author Report Posted November 27, 2019 That's maybe a bit older than I meant, very cool
