I have found some, but I think out of your price range as they look expensive since they are all antique. But it seems if there are historical crow fittings then there should be some modern reproductions.

tsuba from www.scholarsresource.com/browse/work/2144674627

menuki from www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-sword-crow-kawara-menuki-67746336

Crow and crane F & K from tsuba.jyuluck-do.com/fk10284.html

Knowing that historicly it was done though might help, since most katana fittings are reproductions of historical fittings.

My favorite quotes from Rorschach from the comic Watchmen

"Once a man has seen society's black underbelly, he can never turn his back on it. Never pretend, like you do, that it doesn't exist."

"None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with *ME*!"

Well as I mentioned, most every tsuba and menuki and f & k you see out there in production is a copy of something historical. So that someone has done it in the past, gives more likelyhood of there being a modern production of it somewhere.

thats a pure work of art the crow tsuba handmade.

yeah i guess youre right i think its more of the bhuddists control over design, theres so many Miyamoto Musashi themes it hurts my eyes...

Tengu being more Shinto; is harder to find. thanks for the help lads.

UPASHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!.
