Kam Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 Hi all Due to PC failure I am typing on an iPhone so I appologies in advance for any grammar errors. A client/friend who has hit financial difficulties has asked me if I could help move some of his blades on. Naturally I am happy to help where I can but gunto are not my area of knowledge and some of his items are quite unique, starting with an unusual piece that appears to be a custom made gunto koshirae with a saber style blade. The blade is quite slim and appears to have a hada but no yakiba...hamon appears cosmetic. The koshirae is all original and made to fit including a full wrap same tsuka and better quality fittings. I remember Bob Benson had a kogarasu style blade that seemed to be of the same style construction. If any one knows anything or can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Kam Quote
