Volker62 Posted July 21, 2023 Report Posted July 21, 2023 WTB "screw for gunto handle typ 3" kind Regards Quote
vajo Posted July 21, 2023 Report Posted July 21, 2023 Volker those where different in size and wide. The best is to know which kind of type 3 and which blade are in it. Then look for an example meassurements of a another collectors sword to find the right one. Good luck for the search. Some examples. 1 1 1 Quote
Volker62 Posted July 21, 2023 Author Report Posted July 21, 2023 T'ks a lot Chris Unforunately I haven't held any of these screws in my hands 'til today ..... So I'll measure the handle and the hole internal dimensions. This sword comes from a prominent collection, the previous owner, who owned this sword for almost 50 years, told me that he threw away this ugly screw.... The blade in this type 3 gunto koshirae which is like new,(only the original screw is away)was made by Okishiba Masakuni I've already presented this sword here and am currently its happy protector. 1 Quote
vajo Posted July 21, 2023 Report Posted July 21, 2023 To get the screw is a real pain Volker i have made this 2 times and at the end i found the right on but i had 4 more which not fit and i doubt that these was ever in a type 3. I sold them further. I paid around $100 to find the 2 inklusive selling the ones i can't use. I think the next time i will go to a blacksmith nearby and ask him to made a iron screw for me. That would be much cheaper when you know the measurement and the drill. I like the old flat head design of the screws in the akihisa type 3. The screw must fit in the inlet of the tsuka. Modern screws didn't fit - i test it all. Thats only a rough measurement Quote
Volker62 Posted July 23, 2023 Author Report Posted July 23, 2023 Many thanks goes to Chris, who pointed out to me that there are serval types of handlescrews for the Gunto tpye 3!! Now here are the dimensions: screw head diameter: 10 mm head high 6mm lenght for the handle of screw and sleeve around 22 mm hop this helps to get one here in the web 1 Quote
vajo Posted July 23, 2023 Report Posted July 23, 2023 I think it is the straight round head type. Not that conus ones with the flat head (like akihisa, nagamitsu, etc.). Volker did you have other type 3 with screws? You can try which on would fit. http://kajiyahiroshi.../token-ka358101.html I think you need this one Volker You can search with that in yahoo Japan 軍刀ネジ 1 Quote
