jesse Posted April 3, 2023 Report Posted April 3, 2023 I know it is difficult to read but I was wondering if anyone could take a crack at it and help me out. The prior caretaker tried to fill it with white (something or other) and I have tried to clean it as best I can without doing any further damage. Warm Regards, Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted April 3, 2023 Report Posted April 3, 2023 That only tells you that the smith, on the left of the tsuba, lived in Tamagawa in (Musashi) Bushu. Can you get a clear shot or two of the left side of the nakago ana? Quote
ROKUJURO Posted April 4, 2023 Report Posted April 4, 2023 Jesse, this looks very much like a cast-in signature, so what you have there is probably a copy of a TSUBA. 1 Quote
jesse Posted April 5, 2023 Author Report Posted April 5, 2023 Piers, unfortunately it is unreadable. Jean / Ray - thank you for your effort. I appreciate it. I don't even remember where/when I got it but I know it was early (2015 - 2016) when I first got into Nihonto collections. Warm Regards, Quote
