Mike, Jim Dawson, jimdawson@stenger-scott.com , wrote the Japanese sword book, you might ask him about the bamboo scabbard. Doss.

Mike, if you're talking about the plain wooden 'fittings'...I think those were like storage or travel mounts so the nice fittings didn't get messed up. I don't know a lot about swords. Never been able to afford them. Ronin48 has best advice. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I don't see any hand carved anythings. Send them to me in an email if you can't post them. Trey
