Traditional shaped tachi tsuba

[FZ1]

Hi all,

 

I'm looking for a "traditional" shaped tachi tsuba.  It's for a project not a collection, so I'm not looking for high quality (but needs to be a LOT better than some of the things I've seen on Yahoo Auctions -  some of them look so horrible, they seem to have been cast using cheese! )

 

Images below are purely to show what I'm thinking of when I say "traditional" shape.

 

Please PM with any possibles.

 

Thanks

 

Jon

Might be wrong and mistaken, but memory reminds me Mariusz was maybe selling something like this a few months ago.

 

Not as flash as the one above though,

I spy with my little eye a couple tachi tsuba in a picture from the SF show last weekend. Table is owned by David Easley

Thanks for the pointers gents, much appreciated.

 

Doesn't need to be flash, just functional .... a bit like me!

Wow. How's the project going Jon ? Have you managed to get a tsuka and saya made for your tachi ? Please do send photos once completed 

 

Regards

Stalled, Paz!

 

All leads have gone nowhere so far, but this is a long-term/retirement project, so I'm in no hurry.

One just popped-up on here, and he is on your side of the ocean.

Thanks for the tip Dan, but I'm looking for an Ubu one without the hitsu-ana (yeah, I know I'm fussy! )

 

Cheers,
