Bruce Pennington Posted January 25, 2019 Report Posted January 25, 2019 And George, you may also find the canvas tzuka all weather cover. Neil, the govt should give you a grant to establish a museum with your collection! You have things that put Dawson’s work to shame! 2 Quote

PNSSHOGUN Posted January 26, 2019 Report Posted January 26, 2019 If someone could compile all the knowledge, rare examples and information on this forum section it would be one of the best Military Sword books available. 1 Quote
IJASWORDS Posted January 26, 2019 Report Posted January 26, 2019 Whilst on the subject of covers, you regularly see WW2 photos of Japanese officers with foul weather covers on their tzukas, or quite often wrapped and bound in cloth. These rarely last the 75-80 years intact. Here are a few that survived. 3 Quote
Mister Gunto Posted January 26, 2019 Report Posted January 26, 2019 Nice collection! I especially like those that just cover the grip. That way the sword could be used in an emergency without having to spend time removing the cover. I only have one leather cover right now. Hope to get more eventually. Quote
