Sukaira Posted October 27 Report Posted October 27 (edited) In general I don't think Aoi Art builds cobbled together koshirae for their blades. They deal in volume and I am pretty sure Tsuruta just gets these as-is for the most part as he runs all over the country picking up blades. That being said I almost always ask them to price the blade without koshirae and they usually knock off a few hundred to a few thousand USD depending on the piece. Sometimes its a more recently made or well kept koshirae though, and that is worth keeping. Edited October 27 by Sukaira Quote

vajo Posted November 19 Report Posted November 19 (edited) The question is was it made by him or was it made/ changed wartime. The Koshirae is made up of parts. The Seppa are from a Type 3. But we've seen something like this before. Bring your sword to war or assembled after war? I didn't like this part. Edited November 19 by vajo 2 Quote
