Thanks for all of your help.

Hello Gents, I have recently been looking at Koshirae in more detail and have come across a few Tsuka where Samegawa has not been used, they all just happen to be in Gunto mounts. The first couple of pics could either be low quality same or another material, The second pic comes from a Amahide blade on the UK to-ken society sword register. Finally the last couple of pics come from a Tsuka currently for sale on Ebay. What is the material used, it is described as doe skin or leather? and is it only used on Gunto, maybe because of a war time material shortage? Does anyone else have examples of this to share? Regards, Adam

Thanks for your help Paul.

Hello Gents, I am currently looking for a new sword, I came across a good site in the U.S. selling a couple of nice Gendaito in Gunto mounts. Has anyone in the UK imported a non antique sword recently and how did it go? Where there extra fees involved?, what tariff code was used? and is there a way to receive a sword without paying fees at all. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Adam.

Great news Paul, thanks for the report. Total cost of shipping £91.55

An excellent display, worthy of any museum. I would love to have a display like this one day.

Great photos

I also have a copy

Welcome, a fine first purchase indeed

Great documentary, It is a shame about what the people they interviewed said, they had no interest in swords at all

Beautiful polish on the sword, congrats

Beautiful sword, congrats

Wonderful Daisho

More wonderful pictures for those who could not be there,

Congrats on the purchase, a great sword indeed and in a nice gunto koshirae with the early pierced tsuba. Here is some info on the smith in case you are interested http://japaneseswordindex.com/emura.htm
