Sorry I don't know the answer. I have six sets of koshirae with kozuka and all are as you thought between two or three mm proud of tsuba.

Peter Yorke told me not to long ago he had 125 swords in his personal collection of which I was shown a few. however he was very private with his own stuff. What he did show as a special treat was what he said was the best two tanto I,ll ever see. Wonderfull blades and even better fittings, one Ishiguro masatsune and one Goto Ichijo. -
For much better pics and comments go to Ford Hallam's Tosogu insights no 11 £600

Don't blame you for wondering Rich, it is one tsuba ,two separate plates. The Shingen one is only about 2mm thick (approx). Yes Dale it is in my collection. I will try to photo the two plates in the seppa.

Depending on surrounding climate I think lacquered saya might help. Particularly in damp conditions i think it stops warping and keeps moisture out.

I personally think old shirasaya is no better than old koshira and like wise new koshira is just as good as new shirasaya, after all internally they are pretty much the same. ?
