tokashikibob Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Gents, Acquired a pretty decent mumei edo katana recently that has a arsenal scabbard shell. I don't think these were together originally and somehow in the past they became mates. Looking for a basic non fancy edo Saya for a 27.5 inch blade with 1/4 -1/2 sori drop. Will swap a good clean Meg instead of cash if interested. Best Regards, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuuten Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Generally its not really appropriate and not good for the blade to fit it with just another saya, even if you could find one it could fit. They are made to be a perfect fit, one by one. I'd suggest to either let a new saya be made and lacquered, or send it in for a new shirasaya, (personally i think a standard shirasaya is quite elegant, and a high quality one even better).

Stephen Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Agree with Axel, the odds on finding one to fit with out a rub or touch inside is very high, the standard is shirasaya, but nothing wrong with wanting it mounted knowing the cost is seldom recovered.

tokashikibob Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I wish the wood shop was still aboard Camp Lejeune. I'd be in business, doors closed due to it was not making enough money for MCCS. I made many nice cabinets there for the wife. Anyway, i was looking for a project, spilt it apart, chisel it out as needed. The sword is good, but not going to be on my togishi wanted list. On a side note, looked at Fuller's and guess the scabbard with it is a civilian military mount? Also, looking at the arsenal stamp and comparing it to the book, Manchuria stamp?

Toryu2020 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Bob Head to a sword show, almost as good as the wood shop! usually lots of randon saya and with minor adjustment you may find a good fit. -t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
