Im with Jeffrey A.

 

stupid prices, considering type 32s were made in some of the same factorys and they only fetch 300-500

and they were made in simular numbers too. maybe price fixing :lol: :lol: :lol:

Since the copper handle version was made in a small amount and its the first type, I dont think the prices are stupid. Finding one with matching numbers and in good condition is rare.

Morning all.,

 

Also the Tsuba is 1st pattern and the Saya has the early chape (Ishizuki).

It looks like 10339 but its hard to read on the small image.

Now sold :lol:

 

Guess some lurker got it....

Its not the copper handle. The scabbard is with a dragshoe.

It also has a mekugi, copper handles dosnt have one.

 

The price was right for that type.
