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!
