Hi all,

 

I recently bought a 1943 kai gunto from an auction that is missing it's ashi/hangers on the saya. I know it used to have two, and that they were the kind that had screws, as the holes are still there in the saya:

Rather foolishly, I bought a pair of ashi from ebay before the sword arrived, but they are the type without the screws:

They are great, but just the wrong type (and a little too gold for my rather beaten-up saya) - so if anyone wants to trade one set of ashi for another, please let me know! Otherwise, happy to buy them separately if you happen to have a pair with screw holes in the right place.

 

Thanks, 

 George
