Type 95 seppa early Pattern with Brass tsuba

[robinalexander]

Greetings 

 

I am in need of both the top and bottom seppa for Pattern 1 Copper Type 95

 

Yes, I know they are scarce as hens teeth but I have to try regardless of how long it takes.

 

I think the seppas from the second pattern with the slightly thinner brass tsuba would also suffice...or a wrecked one.

 

I have contacted a few dealers, collectors and set up a few searches but also posting here to finish off.

 

If you have any, or know where I can find two, could you PM me please.

 

A couple of pics attached of what I'm looking for. 

 

Thanks

Rob

Working with Mark on this and I can say that he has always been extremely helpful in providing 'just the right bit'.

Here is some of the stuff I have.  The only set with small seppa is iron so probably for later type.  See the tsuba in the picture,  strange but it came with 2 large seppa. You can see where it was on the tsuba for a while as the patina shows where it was. I am learning. Nco is not my area but I have bought and sold dozens in the past year (3 last weekend). I never noticed the seppa.  I will pay more attention

Lucky to find the bottom brass seppa with Mark (thanks), however my quest will continue for a matching top seppa for the Pat. 1  copper 95. I will post pics of the size here FYI but when I receive the 'bottom seppa', I will open another Wanted thread..again with specs but also with pics to try and match the profile.
