Just curious as to thoughts about period, since so many heianjo-ish tsuba were produced. this one came cheaply; the seller's picture made it look bad. With some careful cleaning by a friend of mine, much improvement, and the inferior looking side actually is better now than the one the seller choose to display. Small picture before, the other 2 as is now. 7.14x7.14 cm; .41 rim, .38 seppa thickness. john twineham
