Hello everyone,

I recently came across this picture (I don't own this sword) and I was wondering if it's possible that the nakago of a Rinji Gunto can have only one mekugi-ana but at the same time a tsuka with 2 holes (like on this picture) or is it simply a bunch of parts that are not original and that were put together to make this sword?2122646345_ScreenShot03-16-21at10_08PM.thumb.PNG.9d5a1c5d5838775459ab90e38a36255e.PNG

if it's possible

Ha!  With gunto anything is possible!  I have seen a few with 2 holes in the blade, but only 1 on the tsuka, so this combination doesn't surprise me.  There are other guys here that know more about fittings than I do.  Maybe they can say whether that tsuka matches the saya.  They do seem to be different in appearance - tsuka parts glossy/shiny, saya parts dull?
