jamesr Posted October 23, 2017 Report Posted October 23, 2017 Hello all, I recently found a type 3 missing the Tsuka. Would like to buy or appreciate any leads on finding the correct longer, 2 hole tsuka to complete this sword. Thank you, James.
jamesr Posted October 25, 2017 Author Report Posted October 25, 2017 Hello again, just to follow up my initial post, is this a fairly rare item? I had hoped to save some money by buying a sword at auction that was missing the tsuka because I had seen several gunto (type 98) tsuka's for sale seperately. Was this a (another ) big mistake on my part? I am really hoping to find the correct tsuka so this sword can be whole again and start my collection.I had a gunto type 98 as a teenager that I stupidly traded away and hope to collect a representative WW2 example for sentimental reasons and then learn enough to purchase a decent quality gendaito. After purchasing my 1st sword (a chinese reproduction of a 98) I have lurked extensively on this site hoping to learn enough not to be taken again Any information would be greatly appreciated, thanks James R.
