@WillFalstaff You can use leather wax. I use a thin coat of petroleum jelly. Cheap and gives a good result. Used it for more than 40 years to preserve leather liners of German helmets.

@Bruce Pennington Hi Bruce, I've been trying to find more information about the RAF soldier. I can only find one G.J. Southard, but without access to his service records, I don't know if this is the right person. Regards, Ed

The latest addition to my collection. Old blade, civil tsuba and an inscription by a soldier of the RAF Regiment on the leather combat cover. G.J. Southard RAFR Malaya 1945.

Bruce, the reinforcement band is an interesting addition. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Chris, beautiful sword. Is the tassel made of leather or is it just my bad eyes?

Beautiful sword. My sword in the first post has also a long nagasa. 72.5 cm.

Hi Thomas, that sounds like a good explanation!

@PNSSHOGUNJohn, the crocodile cover is stunning!
