C-110 Iron Sukashi Crane Tsuba

Every tsuba collector in the world should know this design. It is the most wanted iron tsuba design for many years. Yet real examples are few and far between, many modern knockoffs that have been faked to look older are everywhere. This tsuba we guarantee to pass NBTHK shinsa if sent through us within 1 year of purchase.
Well cut tsuba with design of a crane spreading his wings. The design is well cut and in good condition. Mimi is maru, with masame and what might be some tekkotsu (iron bones). Nice smooth patina, looks way better in person than in the pics, large size also a plus. It is what it is, a very nice REAL crane sukashi tsuba.

1700’s-1800’s

Unsigned – guaranteed to pass NBTHK Hozon (if this tsuba doesn’t sell by May, we might send it to Japan for shinsa)

79.6 x 78.4 x  4.3 mm seppadai thickness
