Collecting and learning about Tsuba's! - 08/18/2014 03:20 PM
As with many topics I try and start for collectors and of course myself!
I try and pick something that is of possible interest to me
and something I can learn from!
I like when collectors show and talk and interact!
I could just look at a gallery or read a book for info but
seems like a boring waste of time, if you can't share or learn from others!
Thats why with collector and Dealer such as Military Nut {Andy}
I figure why not gather his thoughts and experience on topics if possible!
I know nothing about Tsuba's except they go on a sword!
But the beauty of some make me curious!
I have gathered some pics from a show or maybe for sale or even collections shown!
Maybe I can glean some information from a topic like this!
My thoughts!
Why so many loose ones around?
Time periods?
Made of? Iron,etc!
Signed? Topics such as birds,dragons,
Who collects them?
Style? Period! Purpose!
Value!
Books on topic!
And anything else collectors can think of!
Hope BobI,Andy.Geoff, and many others see this and give thoughts!
