Type 95 Nco Copper Hilt

[Bruce Pennington]

Interesting idea Trystan.  Have a close look at the tassel on this copper-handled 95 that Matt mentioned.  It just sold for almost 5,000 USD, and the tassel is only 11 in. long and appears to have a rivet or tiny bolt holding the severed ends together.

$5100 Bruce......crazy times!

I paid significantly less for my Akihisa Gendaito.
