SKU MGJ761 is a used iron tsuba in sukashi, the openwork style, sized for a katana. It is unsigned, comes boxed, and measures 3 1/16 inches, or 8 centimeters, in vertical height.

A Texas collector mounting a katana or assembling a display of iron guards gets a katana-size sukashi piece here with its box. Openwork iron tsuba are judged on the quality of the piercing and the surface of the iron, and with no signature to go on, the photographs are the guide. The 8-centimeter height is the figure to check against your blade and seppa, and the box makes it easy to store or ship on. Because a tsuba is a sword fitting and not a firearm, there is no dealer transfer, and the order arrives like any other parcel in Texas. Ask for close-up images of the nakago-ana if you intend to fit it rather than display it.
