Hello today I received a parcel with koshirae kai gunto. The scabbard was smaller and straighter. None of the swords in my collection fit the scabbard. Total length 93 cm.Nagasa length 60.5 cm. I think it was a family sword? What do friends say? And what is the emblem on the handle? Sincerely, Alexander

Generally a bad plan to try to match a blade to a saya or vice versa.  A properly made saya should fit each particular blade for which it is made.

Thanks for the answer. I agree with you, I have a very tired kai gunto (koshirae) in my collection. And in this way I thought to solve the problem)). I'll leave it as it is and let it lie until a good moment. Sincerely, Alexander
