It saves money buying more seppas that may not fit

I have a file kit I ordered from EBay 2 seppas that were too small I filed the inside diameter to make it fit I got rid of the insulation now It fits better just a little wiggle but much better If I had a piece of leather it wouldn’t probably tighten it more here’s a picture

I should have my glasses on Thanks for the help

I did notice the kaji was ground down Don’t know why it was cut down And the scabbard looks like it was varnished and polished How bad do these issues hurt the value?

Looking to get opinions of this sword

Hi John what makes you think the date is suspicious? I’m not sure if it traditional or arsenal Any idea Steve J

Ron It dose but it’s not traditional unless it doesn’t matter A word out to others who need translation Use chat gbt steve

Got it I was hoping it to be traditional but the more I look I see the dark peaks that depicts it to be arsenal

My daughter figured out how to translate using her phone Until than can I get help with this one Thank you

the weight belt might work Although it looks a little thick I’ll google as Ed says and see what pops up All good advice thank you Goodwill might be a good place to find leather old belts etc

If anyone would mind making leather seppas the fit the locking type I will gladly pay you for your trouble Thanks

Good to know Hector thanks And the names on the chart At least I know where to look Did you mean Japanese characters? Bruce I tried getting stamps and he said there wasn’t any I didn’t get photos I requested so i gave up Im working on the leather seppas I think Good Will is a place for leather belts or leather items Steve

Thanks Ray

Help with translation would be awesome

Hi everyone Just wanted to bring this up because i am tired of getting negative comments from a troll who thinks it funny to to criticize my threads I had this issue from another member a while back but haven’t heard anything lately I get rid of one troll and here’s comes a another one Maybe I don’t have thick skin but I don’t need this crap I thought the idea of the forum was to share information not criticism ! Enough of my complaints I appreciate the help from others and wish everyone the very best and keeping alive the history of Japanese swords Steve
