Thanks, Manuel!

Ken I'm sure you know your stuff but that picture makes the mei, so tsuba as well, look cast.

It's not particularly crisp.

 

[Ken-Hawaii]

That's because it was a small image, & I had to blow it up, Adam. Looks pretty crisp, otherwise, but thanks for pointing that out.

Ah great. Perfect example of why in hand is the only true way to judge an item.

Dear Ken,

 

Would like to see a picture of the whole tsuba (unfortunately, I agree with Adam - looks cast - especially nakago-ana - in your picture...)
