Nobutaka Posted November 2, 2020 Report Posted November 2, 2020 Can anyone shed some light on the original finish of Kai Gunto hangers? I always assumed they were entirely gilded but found a hanger of my genuine Kai Gunto had had some gold paint on it. The paint had covered the silver base metal shown in the photo near the attachment point of the ring. The paint came off when I was cleaning the hanger. I'm not sure if the hanger is painted or gilded, but if painted it looks just like gilt, it is very well done. I am pretty sure the ring and its ferrule are brass. Maybe the entire hanger (apart from the ring and ferrule) was made of silver metal and then painted? Does anyone know? Thanks! Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted November 2, 2020 Report Posted November 2, 2020 Most of them were gilded, it looks like yours could have been brazed/soldered at the top. 2 Quote
