As promised and with a massive thank you to Dale (would not have happened without him) here are the two!

I think they are a perfect difference in overall size?

It has been some time since this thread was last used but I have one more guard to add and another that may be the same theme but expressed a little differently.

Hey Dale, the second tsuba that you posted has all the clues...  It will be fun detective work for you - look carefully at the cart, aoi leaves, umbrella and pine needle with one broken needle and research what those symbolize.  Here's a hint.
