Sorry for bumping it up, but I really want some opinions on the Dha. I cannot remember any Japanese tsuba of such construction and I also would like to know what do you think of the blade. Age, geographical origin etc

I heard of Sanmai type from http://www.geocities.com/alchemyst/tsuba/sanmai.htm

Many thanks! I never heard of this type...
So, the tsuba might easily be Japanese.
But what about the blade? I certainly do not wish to break the handle in search of the tang ( potentially, non-existing already...)
