Austo1 Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 This early type 98 Shingunto Koshiare is in as mint condition as one could ever hope to get after some 80 years. Only the tsuba shows some age wear to the edges otherwise the fittings retain all their original finish. There is a silver family Mon attached to the fuchi and the tsuba is a pierced type. The koshirae also comes with its original Red/Brown Field Grade Tassel which has probably never been taken off since it was originally attached. The overall length is 105cm and the wood tsunagi measures 68 cm from point to notch. Price $2700AUD (Australian Dollars) plus shipping..........Payment by Bank Transfer Only. Some will say it is expensive for a koshirae but please remember what someone told me many years ago: "Rubbish today will still be rubbish tomorrow However quality today will increase in value tomorrow. Please email if you require additional pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
