Gazmo1 Posted August 20, 2021 Report Posted August 20, 2021 Managed to find a few pictures of my tanto/ ko wakizashi. Anyone know the kanji mei on the tsuba there are two on it ? Quote
SteveM Posted August 21, 2021 Report Posted August 21, 2021 Hello, The little cartouches say 正利 (Masatoshi). Presumably the artist's name. There are at least eleven artists named Masatoshi. The artist who made this tsuba would probably be late Edo. I don't know if the tsuba and kozuka is a set, but they do look like they compliment each other well. Quote
Gazmo1 Posted August 21, 2021 Author Report Posted August 21, 2021 Thanks very much for the help Steve, yes they do seem to go with each other, and they are, I think very nice too. Thanks for that Steve. Gary🤗👌🏽 Quote
Gazmo1 Posted August 21, 2021 Author Report Posted August 21, 2021 They came with it. And there isn't a signature on the Kozuka. Quote
