Tonkotsu Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 These mixed metal fittings are on a sword discussed in the Nihonto section of the forum. Could you please give me information on the fuchi, kashira, menuki and tsuba? also how to safely remove the verdigris on the tsuba. Thank you, Dick Quote
Geraint Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 Dear Dick. Well from the top, and most of this you know already, the menuki are average but not great, the tsuba is a classic Nagoya mono, for which much information is available but a neat summary is here, http://www.shibuiswords.com/nagoyamono.htm Yours is in good condition apart from the small spots of corrosion which I will leave for others to comment on. The fuchi kashira are the nicest element and I believe the suggestion was that they might be Hamano school. Whatever they are they have some real charm. All the best. 1 Quote
