Bungo Posted December 13, 2008 Report Posted December 13, 2008 with rampant deflation, i am not sure the second one can command 1k............ unusual though. milt Quote
Mike Posted December 13, 2008 Report Posted December 13, 2008 Not so common. I have seen one on Meiji period tourist tanto that has better silver work on the tsuka than its blade. However, yours looks better than the one I have seen. Mike Quote
IanB Posted December 13, 2008 Report Posted December 13, 2008 Charels, Hilts fitted with the central collar are not that uncommon. It is known as a dogane. Rather less common are metal plates that cover the faces of the hilt. Stone in his famous Glossary.... shows a pair of iron plates rather tastefully decorated. I have also seen somewhere an imitation of same done in gold. Ian Bottomley Quote
