Spartancrest Posted Friday at 12:53 AM Report Posted Friday at 12:53 AM Cast, . . . . well yes we can guess that! https://www.jauce.com/auction/f1178689750 Can anyone find an intact copy of the pattern? I have searched high and low but nothing so far matches and I would guess they didn't make just the one. I wonder why they bothered to stick it back together - it wasn't well done to say the least! 2 Quote
Steves87 Posted Friday at 06:01 AM Report Posted Friday at 06:01 AM Like those "shattered" lord of the rings movie swords that you see encased in a table (or something), this could make a good Tsuba version of one of those! 1 Quote

Rivkin Posted Friday at 07:05 AM Report Posted Friday at 07:05 AM Ninja attacks are getting more vicious every year... Soon one will need to reinforce tsuba just to go outside. 3 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted Friday at 12:26 PM Report Posted Friday at 12:26 PM It may be a treasure map tsuba that the previous owner put back together… 1 1 Quote

Robert S Posted Friday at 07:15 PM Report Posted Friday at 07:15 PM What I'm seeing of the pattern it looks like a tsuba from India :-) 1 Quote
Spartancrest Posted 5 hours ago Author Report Posted 5 hours ago https://www.jauce.com/auction/s1179046309 Was the design too heavy? Crazy seppa-dai - my vote is cast, those holes have rounded edges. Quote
Dan tsuba Posted 3 hours ago Report Posted 3 hours ago Yeah! Don't get me started! Sand cast, cast iron. Probably made last week! But it does show how well intricate casting can be done (and could have been done in the Edo period?). My opinion! Quote
