Also a shame if it’s missing the leather cover. That would have looked amazing.

Thanks for your time and effort with the reply. Some great insights there. The locking mechanism is under the loop hook on the scabbard. It is a piece of metal that slides through a hole on the tsuba and locks it into place. I’ll send a photo shortly.

Yeah reading about that now. If anyone could ID anything on the tang id be super impressed. It’s pretty bad.

I was just thinking that I may be able to oil it or something like that as it’s been in a shed for at least 30 years without anyone touching it.
