Seriously, can you share about the hardware? Did you make the mounting furniture yourself? Are they brass? Bronze? Rayskin? What are the menuki? The koiguchi on the saya is some kind of horn?

thanks for asking
the sword has a 55 cm blade and 31 cm from Habáki to the end of the hilt
this game was purchased from another craftsman who only makes these pieces!
nice stuff!
the scabbard does contain the horse hoof koiguchi for fitting and locking the sword
skirt in jacaranda caviuna native to Brazil, locked with stainless steel pins.
