Gunto Posted March 16, 2021 Report Posted March 16, 2021 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?

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? 1 Quote
