You can search all the way back to the beginning...2006.
Check your search settings.

Yes i done that not sure if i sold Emura before you took over...i was hoping you brought history with  your corporate raid.

[Brian]

You do remember that I bought an Emura from you? Still have it. Around 2007

That is gorgeous!  BE (Brian era) or BB (before Brian) - a new time scale!

My Emura...

 

I really need to get some better pics.

 

On the last pic...has anyone ever seen the top of the ashi cut to where the ring can be turned 90 degrees? This is the first I have seen. I looked through all my Fuller & Gregory books and the Dawson books. No mention of it. Maybe @Bruce Pennington would know? 

 

 

[Bruce Pennington]

Never seen it before.  John, @PNSSHOGUN is the real koshirae guy to ask, though.

[Stephen]

They do unscrew you know.

[PNSSHOGUN]

Some Ashi were made of brass, heavy use can cause this level of wear but it could also be a field modification to make the sword sit better when attached to the belt.

Stephen, as I understand them, only the removable ones unscrew.  None of my Type 98 single haikan unscrew.

Hummm  i thought they all did. The more you know. TKS
