Bruce Pennington Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Johh, @PNSSHOGUN, will chime in as his day begins on the bottom of the world! Does the seller know that is a general officer tassel? Those sell for as much as a full WWII Type 98 gunto. John will have to advise on the fittings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wangzi Posted May 7 Author Report Share Posted May 7 hi， Bruce， thank you for reply. it has a general tassel attached. and the seller told me it is a early general 94 military sword set, but without real blade. could you please take a look if the tassel and set are original, if so.perhaps i will buy them. 31 minutes ago, Bruce Pennington said: Johh, @PNSSHOGUN, will chime in as his day begins on the bottom of the world!

Bruce Pennington Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 I don't study these, so I cannot say. It's 1:45am in Aussie-land, so it will be a few hours before John wakes up and sees this. Of course, anyone with tassel experience could help out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeLuucas Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 In the meantime, here’s an interesting thread on the tassels. After reading through it, I feel the one in question looks a little funny - In my opinion All the best, -Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wangzi Posted May 7 Author Report Share Posted May 7 hi Sam，thanks for the remind. actually i am not sure if the tassel we are disscussing is original. that would be a sad story if i buy a replica with the cost for genuine so hope somebody would be kind to make an identify 2 hours ago, GeorgeLuucas said: In the meantime, here’s an interesting thread on the tassels.

PNSSHOGUN Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Replica tassel, mounts appear original. Collecting in China seems fraught with danger. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wangzi Posted May 7 Author Report Share Posted May 7 TRUE， so that is why i come here to beg for advices before payment. so you mean that, beside the tassel, the sword fittings are all original. 40 minutes ago, PNSSHOGUN said: Replica tassel, mounts appear original.

PNSSHOGUN Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Yes, these fittings are made from copper rather than the normal brass. @Bruce Pennington FYI it was 1:45pm down here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BANGBANGSAN Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 It appears to be an early fitting by Suya. And like John said, the tassel is a repro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wangzi Posted May 8 Author Report Share Posted May 8 Yes，this kind of Chinese made repro costs about 200 bucks(photos below). however, the seller did not inform me about this:-( For the sword fitting，it costs about 1500 bucks, do you think it is worthy to purchase? 6 hours ago, BANGBANGSAN said: It appears to be an early fitting by Suya.

PNSSHOGUN Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Expensive, such Koshirae from Japan go for around 100,000yen. Dealer doesn't seem trustworthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would either pair it with an original company-grade or field-grade tassel or not use a tassel at all. The repro General tassel doesn’t hold much significance, but that's just my personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
