Field / local repaired koshirae

Recommended Posts

Yesterday I have picked up an army sword and the koshirae is really nice but the kojiri is replaced. It looks like a field or local repair. The sword was brought back from the Dutch East Indies shortly after the war. Anyone seen this kind of repairs before? I don't know if the replacement is done during the war of after. It shows some age. All opinions are highly appreciated! 

Regards, Ed

An officer has little battle with a closing door and...POP, there goes the Ishikuze and the screw is threaded! Seen a few like that, but none like your example. If the provenance is correct and it has been done well then no reason to question it wasn't done in the field.
