Fred Geyer Posted November 16, 2013 Report Posted November 16, 2013 Curran, I know good tsuba are still out there but with the world market now they get sucked up very fast...yes even at crazy prices!! And you are right the coin tsuba is not for sale only to look at. Fred Quote
Fred Geyer Posted November 16, 2013 Report Posted November 16, 2013 here is another odd one, I am sure it was always a topic of conversation about by the other person seeing it on the there tanto. Fred Quote

Fred Geyer Posted November 16, 2013 Report Posted November 16, 2013 first guess ...IS A WINNER Fred Quote
kusunokimasahige Posted November 16, 2013 Report Posted November 16, 2013 Thank you Fred ! Makes me believe all my time in the antiques trade ("peanuts" and portering for Auction houses) did leave some traces... KM Quote
Pete Klein Posted November 16, 2013 Report Posted November 16, 2013 I find it amusing that I gave some thought to buying that coin tsuba way back when it was available on a Japanese shop webpage but things were so tight economically back then I passed. OH well, it's got a GREAT home and I can always see it at the Chicago show! LOL Quote
Henry Wilson Posted November 16, 2013 Report Posted November 16, 2013 I wonder if there is similar style tsuba made from Chinese, Korean or Japanese coins? Quote
