Widok4 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Hi all, 1. big Ko Kachushi Tsuba ? 10,7 x 9.7 x 0.3 cm !!! 2. Anyone have any idea for an age/school for this tsuba? 8,8 x 8,8 x 0.3 cm Anyway, any help greatly appreciated many thanks Janusz Jaroslawski Quote
rkg Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 the first one appears to be a tembo piece - looks like a fairly nice one. Can't help you with the second. Best, rkg (Richard George) Quote
Surfson Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 i agree, tembo/tempo. The hammer marks/indentations are the main clue that I am aware of for these. Quote
Soshin Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 Hi, The first tsuba is a tempo tsuba and a nice one circa the late Edo Period. The main characterics are the large size, apparent hammer marks (tsuchimei-ji), and hot stamp designs. The second tsuba I am not sure about. Yours truly, David Stiles Quote
Geraint Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 Hi Janusz, I must say I really like the look of the whole koshirae for the first sword, any chance of some more pictures? All the best Quote
