Saya and fittings with tsunagi

[Izumi]

Edo period Saya and fittings with wood tsunagi
Tsuba: roughly 7 cm, mokko with kinzogan kiku and moon design, unsigned
Menuki: Dragon
Ha: Tsunagi
Length: roughly 77 cm

Katanakake not included.

I am tasked with managing the sale of a private collection of swords and fittings, and other weaponry, etc.
The owners are knowledgeable on the topic, but have asked me to be in charge of the sales.
I am grateful for any information that would aid to the success of this project.
Thank you.

I have read the policies about listing Tsuba separate from fittings, however this item is only available as is.

Note: This item is one of thirty or so similar items (various styles/conditions) that will become available.
Open to offers and negotiations

Andrew,

one of the rules is that you have to give a price with your sales offer.

[Brian]

Indeed. This isn't a fishing expedition. You need to post a rough price, even if negotiable.

[Izumi]

Apologies, a newbie mistake. Posting.
Thank you

[Izumi]

$1000 USD as is
Buyer pays shipping

Thank you

Identified as shoushin-mono (genuine item),
most likely this Koshirae-kanagu assembled during the Baku-matsu (ending period of the Tokugawa Era / 1624 - 1867) in the 1850's or 1860's.

Andrew,

re: your TSUBA:
five round petal flowers look like UME no HANA to me, not KIKU. What do you think?

[Izumi]

Agreed, but Sensei said Kiku.
Admittedly, at first I thought it was incorrect.
