Looking for Tsuba for my katana.

[2devnul]

Hello everyone, 

 

I'm looking for Tsuba for my katana. Please find below details about what I search for and drop me a PM if you can help. Thanks!

 

1. I'm interested in Edo period, Mokko Gata, preferred black iron (but not a must have) as material with nice 'gold' ornaments. Attaching picture of an example. 

2. I'm looking for sale within EU in order to avoid customs issues. 

3. I'm paying via bank wire-transfer (don't have PP etc.). 

4. My budget 375$ (including shipping). 

 

Cheers!

Very much like one showed,

Wish you luck.

Adam,

perhaps you have more success in the "WANTED TO BUY" section, not here?

What is wrong with that one?

(So the UK is no good.)

I apologize, still new to the forum. But I see admins moved the topic to proper section.

UK is not part of EU anymore right? So there will be customs involved AFAIK. Costs for customs aren't high (that is not an issue) but the whole red-tape involved (at least in Poland) scares me.

Did you find what you're looking for?

Is the one in hand for sale?

Hi, not yet, still looking. But I got in touch with a person (via different website) in Poland that has nice collection. I'm hoping to find something there. 

 

Yes, the one on the example pictures is for sale. Are you interested?

Yes pm me for price

If you decide to venture outside Europe, shoot me an email, I may have something which will work.

 

I wouldn't worry too much about customs and red tape. With low budget items like that and using the correct tariff code should make such a transaction effortless.

Hi, Thanks Ed, found and bought one already (outside of forum). 

Topic can be closed. Thank you again to all that helped!

Maybe show what you settled on?

Hi Stephen,

 

Here is what I bought. Modern production (20th century). Sword is Shinsakuto, so that should be fine.

Very well done, age perfect.

Good job!
