Solid gold? Have they been tested?

all i see is over polished silver

I think seller is referring to the gold colored mekugi and habachi. The koshirae appears to be silver.

Hi

Thank you for the messages. I have tested the habaki, with my gold tester and it came out as 22kt. Of course, it is not solid, has a copper underlay. The koshaire is silver. The scabbard as well, as you can see has tons of silver and is back to it's tarnished look now. I thank you for your interest and insights.
