Dr Fox Posted May 15, 2012 Report Posted May 15, 2012 This is another tsuba out of my box of bits, would be pleased to hear its not a tap washer. Many thanks. Denis Quote
Lindus Posted May 15, 2012 Report Posted May 15, 2012 Not my field of interest but they are damned nice,will be interested in seeing what the membership has to say. Roy Quote
Soshin Posted May 17, 2012 Report Posted May 17, 2012 Hi Denis, I would estimate a late Edo Period Myochin work. What are the tsuba measurements including thickness? Yours truly, David Stiles Quote
Dr Fox Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Posted May 27, 2012 Hi David I must apologise to you for not replying sooner, been away. Tsuba measures north to south 80 cms east to west 72 cms Edge 3 cms. Cheers Denis. Quote
Jean Posted May 27, 2012 Report Posted May 27, 2012 Denis, These measurements are those of an olympic disk and not of a tsuba. I guess you meant "mm" instead of "cm" Quote
Geraint Posted May 27, 2012 Report Posted May 27, 2012 Mind you, at 80 cms that would have to be quite a sword! Quote
Dr Fox Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Posted May 28, 2012 Is it an age thing??? I don't know my Tiff from my Jpeg and now my cms from mm. I don't think I should be trusted with anything sharp, lol. Yes it is mm, and thanks for looking after me. Denis. Quote
MauroP Posted June 24, 2012 Report Posted June 24, 2012 Hi Denis, I have no idea what's the subject of the tsuba is, but I found probably the same "ship propeller-like" pattern in a sukashi tsuba from Ford Hallam's blog (http://followingtheironbrush.blogspot.i ... tsuba.html) Bye, Mauro Quote
Dr Fox Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Posted June 28, 2012 Hi Mauro Thanks for your reply, and yes I can see what you are indicating here, it was the reference to the ships propeller that did it. Denis Quote
