Koshirae I Need To Mount A Katana Blade

[MWB]

Hello,

 

I know this is a long shot, and I realize that this will be a long-term search, but here goes

 

I own a fully mounted Wakizashi in formal, duty mounts.

 

The mounts are:

 

Mountings (KOSHIRAE):                 Semi Formal / Formal

                                                       Finely punched nanako ground, raised gold Mon

Signed:                                           OMORI EIGEN (Omori School) on Kozuka and Fuchi

                                                       Circa: 1790 - City of Edo

 

I am able to purchase a polished Katana by the same smith, but it is unmounted and would need saya, tsuka and all koshirae.

 

The mounts I need DO NOT HAVE TO BE OMORI.  Just a similar quality nanako without decoration.  I would also be open to any plain, black undecorated mounts that my mon can be added to.

 

I am trying to obtain Koshirae with a similar, finely punched nanako ground.  The mon and Menuki can be duplicated by my jeweler, but I am hoping to find undecorated, Edo period koshirae items to apply the mon to.  The tsuba is simple, undecorated Plain Formal Shakadu alloy.

 

If possible, I would prefer a tsuba WITHOUT an opening for a kozuka.  But it isn't a deal breaker.

 

You can PM me for information and higher resolution photos.

 

Thank You,

Mark
