Spartancrest Posted April 10 Report Posted April 10 https://www.jauce.com/auction/1180342028 What has happened here? It is not possible for the damage to have been caused in battle - not unless the attackers sword had cut through the sword blade itself. The tsuba must have been struck when unmounted - crazy destruction! 2 Quote

goo Posted April 10 Report Posted April 10 The stamped back ground looks off to me. I don't have a great deal of experience here but the dots are randomly placed and not consistent with other period pieces. And the colors look suspicious. Please correct me if I am wrong. Quote
Jake6500 Posted April 10 Report Posted April 10 I think it has very clearly been carved up that way for decorative effect. Tsuba seems modern to me also. No signs of mounting, looks a little too perfect. Nakago Ana also looks weirdly off-centre as well, or is it just my eyes playing tricks on me? 1 Quote
