Would any of the ‘iron men’ out there care to comment upon the attached tsuba? Thin, and measuring 7.0 cm in both height and width, it is of darkly patinated and polished iron. It is ex the Jepson collection, dispersed in 1938.

I won't claim to be particularly well immersed in the nuances of iron :oops: but the lower half of the piercing work, the leaves and flower, exhibits a unique Akasaka design sensibility to my eyes. Makes me think of the period of the 5th Master, ( can't go wrong saying Tadatoki ;) ) Mid to late 1700's
