Futokoromono Sought

The new owner of the koshirae below is looking for a kozuka and kogai to match the fuchi, tsuba and kojiri. This is a relatively common theme and I don't imagine that it will be difficult (or expensive) to locate matching fittings. Would anyone recall kozuka and/or kogai in this style available for sale?

 

Best regards,

Ray

dang, I have seen several matching kozuka and kougai sell on ebay lately. Look at past sales, sometimes I have had luck with the new purchaser selling to me for an extra $10 or so.

Thanks Jason, appreciate the heads up. I know this motif was mass produced, so hopefully another set will turn up if tracking down past eBay sales does not pan out.

 

Best regards,

Ray

is that the hamdashi koshirae you were just selling?

[Ray Singer]

Hi Jason, yes it is the hamidashi koshirae. I accepted a trade for the another piece I had consigned. He asked my help to locate the additional missing tosogu. If you happen to locate those eBay links please send them over. I was not able to find the past auctions.

 

Best,

Ray

In case he wants to do a companion sword, here is a matching kojiri.
