Skull themed Tsuba

[Tengu1957]

I would like to find an Edo Jidai Skull themed Tsuba. Does not have to be signed or papered. Would love to see any examples. 

Thanks

I've never given my skull tsuba a price as it is a keeper and it did take me ages to find

I can post an image if you like

That's a keeper ! Is there a specific school you would assign it to ? I have one that is a little more abstract so not as apparent what it is. Thanks for sharing .

Yes both repros. I've seen the first one before and it is a nice tsuba. I don't think the price is too far off but I'd double check it is authentic
