Hey Bruce, this cover came with what I believe is an early Edo period wakizashi in shirasaya. I am not convinced that these have always gone together. If I can figure out what any of the markings are I will let you know.
Thanks,
Eric
Hello,
Would anyone be able to assist me in translating any of the script on this canvas bag. I bought a sword and it was inside this canvas bag. I think the bag was originally used for army signal flags but this is just a guess. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

Hello everyone,
I have a restoration project I am working on and am looking for menuki and sarute that would match the patina of what I believe to be early Type 94 fittings.
Thanks,
