Dan tsuba Posted January 8 Report Posted January 8 So, I received this tsuba today. I think it is unique, and I have nothing like it in my collection. It has a small higare (crack) at the bottom of what I think is the ura side, but it doesn’t go all the way through to the omote side. I am thinking about Owari school? But I am just guessing. Or did I get bit for about $150 U.S.? I would appreciate any help in determining the tsuba school. Thanks! 1 Quote
