I have had this old unpapered Katana for over 30 years and never did bother to take or send it to shinsa but maybe I will some day. It is not a particularly flashy blade but the mounts are really nice - Attributed by reputable source to late Murimachi Akaska Senguin  - tsuba is signed as are the fuchi and koshira, tsuba - Kinai of Echizen - open carved dragon .  The Wak from David is late 1500's signed and papered to Masanori and the fittings are close enough other than the tsuba which is plain -

 

anyone out there have a wak sized tsuba by Kinai drop me a note with your price and dimensions !

Nice job, got bit of a similar scenario in the making.

 

Only for display, so not going to get pedantic about them being a perfect match. Will never find Daisho tsuba that will fit.
