You have to decide if the blade is worth the money you will spend on fittings and having the
koshirae built .
First thing is finding the fittings you want to see on the sword that have a matching theme ,
then pack up the blade and fittings and send them to the builder .
Second thing is time and money , $2-2500 and up for someone to make and put together the koshirae and 6 -12 months to finish .

Funny thing happened on the way to koshirae this week .
Normally a kogatana does not have to be registered when coming into Japan .
This week though , if the kogatana is in shirasaya when it arrives at check in it is considered a sword and needed to be registered even though it was under 13cm .
If it had arrived with no shirsaya and just wrapped in something or installed in the kozuka and wrapped up it would not need to be registered

Russell,
it’s a family crest (mon). The shape is called “Maru ni sanmai sasa no maru” (a round forming, three petaled bamboo in a circle)….
Thanks man !
Ive never seen that on a type 98 before .
So the officer that had this sword made had that added ?

I saw this sword on the Showa22 web site and if you look carefully, you can see the handle has been re-wrapped recently and not by someone familiar with how the Japanese would do it.
Good eye !
Bruce mentioned that also .
