rkg Posted August 27, 2024 Report Posted August 27, 2024 I have a brass tsuba that weighs 672 grams: Best, rkg (Richard George) 7 4 Quote
Tohagi Posted August 28, 2024 Author Report Posted August 28, 2024 That's really heavy! May I ask a question about balance? How do a tsuba weighting at least a 1/3 of the weight of a sword affect the balance of the sword? Were they "temples offerings"? It seems to have mounting marks... Definitively, my "little" tsuba is out of race! Best, Éric VD 1 Quote

Curran, The piece came with that monster shingen I have - the nakago ana are identical so it would appear they were possibly made for the same sword. Dimensions: 99.8mm H X 99.8mm W X 11.5mm T Not meaning to threadjack, but here's a couple of posts on this on FB https://www.facebook...et=a.266009073454448 https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid02mtsns6mZqhsn3EacvX6d5EuHWjQTFLDrTEyUEzpdGGTRWkzSCUmKVrh6fTQYQ8Efl&id=266005023454853&__cft__[0]=AZU8RA2JpUMk9mCEIqS5_ppmy6tJmF0NBsV6rdhVv4J2aX4Wkqlccf7MSBXltg8qoQUew794vtZIJd6T6XpwyrVH4Dk14QuAtC5ULOMcYPkwGczKVDqauSxpxrEdnbHbSZohTByXnWD8uE-Y1k7GLCRcdIrXrUzocXHl44DOVl9iXyUndMXq1aAdUN88wC7MRjQ&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R rkg 1 1 Quote
