  1. Here you are Bruce. I bought mine on Yahoo Japan. It was like fiding a needle in a haystack. It has quite a dark patina. Edit : the tsuba stands are from Tobias. https://www.tsuba-no-kake.com/
  2. Here is a couple of photos of my "civilian gunto" tsuba. I bought the 6th one from Mark "DARTHLAKER" recently. It is the one in tsuba box.
  3. Will post them soon though I guess each pattern has already been posted here separately.
  4. Just added this one to my civilian gunto tsuba small collection. So far I have 6 different patterns.
  5. Trystan, Does yours have a hamon?
  6. Chris BOWEN has a good togishi in Japan. The price and waiting is inferior to togishi in the USA. You shall ask Chris Bowen directly. Chris can take care and handle this project. I already had a sword polished in Japan trought his service. Does the blade have koshirae or a habaki at least? If not, you might have a shirasaya made for it.
  7. Were zoheito oil quenched, had artificial hamon or no hamon at all? Nice and interesting piece.
  8. I have the same pattern. My understanding is that these brass tsuba are from 1930' made for iaido and refitted for gunto.
  9. Good for metal recycling.
  10. Hi Frank, You can contact Chris Bowen, his polisher has in general the poish done in less than a year and he can offer shinsa service. https://www.ejapaneseswords.com/
  11. Any infos on this particular Navy smith?
  12. I just sent my splitting shirasaya to John TIRADO.
