Comes in original type 98 koshirae all in good condition apart from the paint on the saya. Tsuba and sepas stamped 33. It is missing 2 sepas. This is how I got the sword so the tsuba is loose. But handle and saya fit tight. Locking mechanism works fine. Brass habaki? See pictures for condition. Any questions feel free to ask. I will answer to the best of my knowledge.
