TS0550
SOLD
A large early Jingo tsuba 7.939 cm x 7.061 cm x 5.39 mm at the widest point. Ishimei surface with gold nunome pines, shibuichi stones, rectangular hitsu ana, and small two ana. A shibuichi moon on the back. Very dense iron with ganular tekotsu. I strongly suspect that this is the work of the first generation, as he did a number of tsuba solid plate tsuba. However, I can not price to my belief, only to the quality of the tsuba. Boxed $2,500
