    Hi, Does this licens say anything about the blade?
  3. Kai-Gunto
    I have some photo I have "stolen" from the web of kaiguntos with the lock strap. I will post them later.

    The book from Fuller and Gregory?

    Hi Ian,They are rare and I done some study over the time. They are only mounted on swords with push fit. Heres a period photo of one mounted. I dont think its a issue to unlock the sword fast, but at that time it wasnt ,who is drawing the sword fastest.

    The Ito knot on the tsuka is normal for kaigunto . I have one with same koshirae and its stamped 49 on the fuchi and same stamps on seppa. Its maybe Tokyo Elecktric company or gas. There is a thread somewhere , I try look for it. It has a nice custom sarute with clasped hands. Nice sword You got there.

    The tassel is not a tassel , but a lock strap. Mounted on the saya ashi and then around the tsuka.

    This is one of the better replicas/fake http://www.militaryheritage.com/swords3.htm

    The sarute screw on all NCO I have seen is made of iron ,on this its made of brass?
  10. Kai-Gunto
    The lock clip attachtmeant is to high on the tsuka and the lock clip is to thin. The seppas are poorly done. The shape of the fuchi is wrong....I could go on....
  11. Kai-Gunto
    Mark....The things You point out that looks right ,its more a rule, dosnt mean its genuine.
  12. Kai-Gunto
    Are You the seller?
  13. Kai-Gunto
    Its a fake.
  14. Kai-Gunto
    The shibabiki is turned the wrong way. The leaf must face the dragshoe (ishizuke) , try look for traces of it on the saya.
  15. Kai-Gunto
    Joe , Your right. The decription in the auction is Bull .... and fools some people. The sword still have a lot of issues, it still is one of the better.

    Beware......its a fake. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121791503641?ul_ref=http%253A%252F%252Frover.ebay.com%252Frover%252F4%252F0%252F8%253Feecl%253D1%2526eesi%253DGBH%2526i%253D1adb42fe1edII155e4II67855dII1adb42fdf4fII2%2526eepc%253D%252F121791503641%2526bu%253D43179291199%2526segname%253DB128E7C-00%2526crd%253D20151022051548%2526emParams%253Di%2526sojTags%253Demid%25253Dbu%25252Csegname%25253Dsegname%25252Ccrd%25253Dcrd%2526srcrot%253D0%2526rvr_id%253D0

    I have seen those swords before with wheels. They make me feel sick.
  19. Kai-Gunto
    Nice one. Love the fittings. Is the kojiri matching?
  20. Kai-Gunto
    Not a tanto , but a wak.
  21. Kai-Gunto
    Where do You see the NCO saya?
  22. Kai-Gunto
    You never answer my pm's. Did recive the items I shipped to You some months ago?
  23. Kai-Gunto
    That tassel is one of those from Parkistan.
  24. Kai-Gunto
    Sad about the missing saya parts. That is otherwise a very nice and rare koshirae.
  25. Kai-Gunto
    I had a "type 3" with a 1942 dated blade.
