Hey, guys, in the midst of all my excitement yesterday I forgot to mention I found the grip to the tang. https://imgur.com/a/ld6UXSo, I guess it would be pretty cheap to reattach it?

Is there a specific oil I should use on the blade? I have the sword wrapped in cloth and stored away in a drawer for the time being and I will only handle it with gloves from here on out. Good to know the handle can be easily replaced. Forgive me everyone, I am unsure of the meaning of several words you're throwing at me, I just started diving into all this yesterday. - David

Thanks, guys. Wow, someday I will take that whole process on. I did not expect that price, but will start saving and get it done. - David

Hi there, today I became aware that I own a sword that was made by, Omura Kaboku. I inherited the sword after my father passed and my grandfather brought the sword back to the states after, WW2. Here are some photos of the sword. https://imgur.com/a/ceCVg As you can see, it is not in the best condition. The grip matched the scabbard, but the grip fell apart long ago and is sadly gone, it is also missing the guard. I'd love to somehow get this restored and bring it back to life, but I have 0 clue how to go about doing that. Can anyone please help me out with some information? Thank you.
