Yes, it is active.  Thanks for the input.

 

Definitely a custom kaigunto.  That would be extremely unusual if both sets of seppa are one piece!  Hard to know from the photos.  i agree with you, the ito might be a re-wrap, as the diamond gaps are smaller than normal.  Seeing how customized the whole rig is, though, leaves the possibility that it was made this way.

Adding another photo. Rising sun washers and semegane are made of white non-magnetic metal which patinated green. It’s white brass?

Are the daiseppa made of the same metal?  Quite unusual.

Looks like usual brass for small seppa pair.

Nice one, Marcin, thanks!

@Bruce Penningtonanother mix. Looks like saya for wakizashi [below 60,6 cm] with interesting „gunzoku” tsuka.

I would like to hear your opinion on sarute and horse shoe saya finish.

Menuki are so shiny, could this be rewrap with recycled tsukaito?

Tsuba looks like reproduction.
