Krystian Posted July 23, 2020 Report Posted July 23, 2020 Hello, Here is a katana koshirae for sale. Tsuka with iron fuchikashira decorated with flowers. Crab menuki, they might be a modern made cast. It is difficult to be sure when they are under ito. Very tight leather tsuka ito. Good quality modern samegawa.Iron tsuba decorated with gold inlay. Tsuba is signed "Kanesada" and made by Shoami School.Unfortunately I have no data to compare the signature or the style of this tsuba against other works of Shaomi Kanesada.There where many tsuba makers that signed with this name. There was however just one that worked in Shoami group and signed with those kanji. He was active around 1700.Saya with rather new urushi. Also horn kurikata and koiguchi are new. Shitodome are cast and gilded. Antique iron kojiri. Wooden core most probably made in 20th century. Size: Length: 97 cm Saya: 74 cm Tsuka: 22 cm Tsunagi blade: 68 Tsunagi habaki: 32 mm x 10 mm Tsunagi sori: 16 mm Fuchi: 39 mm x 22 mm From top of the fuchi to center of mekugi hole: 39 mm Price: 750 $ with free shipping.
