I have just acquired a slightly unusual sword that had been mounted with a leather combat cover.The cover has gone to time and the individual stripped off most of the remnants leaving the suspension mounts in place.I was hoping to learn a little more about this style of mounting.The Koshirae is interesting as there is much enhancing to the fittings.The blade has a Bohi that runs the full length of the blade and looks to have been added after the signature and unfortunately removed one half of the Mei.I would appreciate any comments or information regarding this piece and if possible any hints to the "Half Signature" I really like the finish on the saya It looks like it would taste like candy! Perhaps I am enjoying my hobby a little too much! Regards,Geoff
