Hello all!
I recently came into possession of an iron tsuba. Based off what I've seen it's a Tempo tsuba and (probably) latter Edo Period. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Adam,

 

Nice Tembo tsuba, I have a very similar one, size 86mm x 80mm, image below:

My research indicates the mimi is maru with uchi-kaeshi at four corners, Saotome style carved rim.

 

If you search 'hot stamps' in the NMB you should be able to identify the ones on your tsuba.
