Ontario_Archaeology Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Hello, I need the lock and fuchi that would fit? and colour match this. I have seen some on ebay, but I thought it would be better to ask here first thank-you Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganko Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 The sizes of the items you need vary considerably. You need the pieces in hand to try them. Also the red color on your fittings does not seem normal, perhaps someone has coated them with something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNSSHOGUN Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 The red paint appears normal for what seems to be a mid war short style Type 98. As this is a smaller than normal koshirae the dimensions may be difficult to match. The thickness of the tsuba and seppa will need to be measured to insure the locking pin is long enough.
