Infinite_Wisdumb Posted March 15 Report Posted March 15 Interesting how this one is apparently setup for a boys sword? What are the indentations above and below the nakago-ana for? https://www.jauce.com/auction/m1176213553 1 Quote
Geraint Posted March 15 Report Posted March 15 Dear............. Or a tanto of course. The punch marks are securing/concealing two soft metal plugs that have been inserted to fill holes drilled in the tsuba. Sometimes tsuba were repurposed and a couple of screw holes drilled to fasten them to something. Edit to add. Hmm. When I look at all the photographs on the listing I can't see any sign of the holes on the face of the tsuba and although invisible repairs are a possibility they certainly weren't for the person who did the work on the back so perhaps not screw holes but stopped holes for some other purpose. All the best. Quote
