Do they both correspond to holes in the nakago? And the question is whether the upper hole (above the mei) is from an earlier (civilian?). By the way, how long is the nakago. Hey Mal, I don't have it in hand so I'm not sure how long the nakago is. I can get that next week when I pick it up. The two mekugi do correspond to holes in the nakago. I believe it uses the bottom two for the gunto tsuka. This is why I thought the blade was older because of the one at the top, it looked like the bottom two were either drilled for the conversion or at the very least the middle hole was drilled and it had two originally. When I get it in hand, I'll take some closeup pictures of the holes and we should be able to tell which were drilled. 1 Quote
