Hi everyone,

 

A while back i was fortunate enough to stumble across a Koa Isshin Mantetsu katana at a local antique shop ($100.usd :). The original mounts had basically disintegrated from dry rot over the years so I embarked on a full mounting restoration using the original koshire and fittings. After weeks of work, I can say that It is coming our beautifully. As I "wrap things up" (bad tsukamaki pun) I was wondering, is there a correct tassel for the tsuka or would the officers rank have been the only consideration?

 

Thanks in advance.
