An antique Japanese kinko fuchi kashira pair, authentic and from a well-known collection, sold used. Fuchi and kashira are the two soft-metal fittings that finish the ends of a sword handle, and they are collected both as matched sets and as single pieces.

For a Delaware collector the draw here is provenance: a set that passed through a well-known collection carries more weight than an anonymous pair. The seller gives no further detail on metal, theme or signature, so this suits a buyer comfortable judging the fittings on inspection. It can finish a handle restoration or join a fittings display, and because it is sold as a pair, the two pieces arrive together rather than having to be matched later from separate sources.
