mizuta Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 The iron plate is not flat it has been hammered out of shape!The blade looks late shinshinto very little sori. Bernard Quote
Henry Wilson Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 It appears to be a half-hearted attempted at copying some Kaneie tsuba. There seems to a pine tree and mountains with a man leading a an ox. Quote
Soshin Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 I would agree with Henry's analysis of the tsuba. The relief craving isn't very good and the tsuba also look badly hammered. I would venter to say that the tsuba looks as old as its Nihonto (i.e. Shin-Shinto era or Late Edo Period). Yours truly, David S. Quote
