Collecting goals have changed - parts/koshirae available to NMB members

[Kolekt-To]

Hello everyone,

 

I made a recent decision that I will no longer purchase swords that need work (including "project" swords) and, therefore, I'm no longer in need of the parts/fittings and koshirae that I've accumulated over the past few years. I will be posting items for sale in the proper forums on this site. I prefer to offer these items to NMB members before I attempt to sell them anywhere else. I have mostly Type 97 and Type 98 parts/fittings and koshirae to offer - tsukas, tsubas, seppas, fuchi, kabutogane, ishizuke, sayas, etc. If you are looking for a specific fitting, let me know. I'm hoping that there are members who can put these items to good use. 

 

Thanks,

 

Geoff

Hi, I definitely need seppa. What do you need to know from me?

Hi Geoff, do you have any leather covers?

Hi Ron and John,

 

Thanks for your interest. I currently only have a pair of bare (with ray skins only) Type 97 tsukas listed, but will begin listing other items tonight. These will include the seppas, one leather-covered saya, and a Type 97 saya. More items will follow and I will provide updates. The sales section of the forum is divided into categories, as you all are aware, therefore I will list the items in their appropriate categories (tsubas in the tsuba section, seppas and sayas in the parts/koshirae section, etc.). John, in answer to your question specifically, I don't have a separate leather cover to offer, however, as mentioned, one of the sayas I will offer does have a leather covering. I will price the items reasonably and will accept offers. I prefer that these items go to NMB members who will put them to good use.

 

Best,

 

Geoff

I offered more Type 97 and Type 98 fittings/koshirae  - most items are in the fittings/koshirae section of the For Sale forum, however I do have a few tsubas to offer (found in the Tsuba section of the For Sale forum), and there are accompanying seppas with a couple of them. I may offer a sword or two in the weeks ahead, as well.

 

Best,

 

Geoff

Ron, the seppas are paired with Type 97 (Navy) tsubas and sold as such - I have a couple of sets for sale in the "Tsuba" section of the For Sale forum (one set with rayed seppas only, the other with the typical type - may be used with either Navy or Army swords, I'm thinking). I'm selling these seppas with the tsubas from which they were originally matched.
