Offered under SKU MGJ1047, this is an authentic antique Japanese menuki that comes out of a well-known collection. Menuki are the small ornaments set beneath the grip wrap of a Japanese sword, and this example is filed in the Japanese swords, fittings and firearms group as a used piece. The listing gives no motif, metal, signature or measurements, and it does not state whether one piece or a pair is included, so rely on the photographs for those details.

A collector in South Carolina would buy this for the fittings cabinet rather than for mounting: antique menuki are studied, compared and displayed far more often than they are rewrapped onto a handle. Its origin in a recognized collection is the main point of interest the seller offers, and it makes the piece a candidate for someone tracing fittings by their former owners. It is a sword ornament, not a firearm, so it travels to you without any dealer involvement.
