Fred Lohman, in his own words, "The Ultimate Source for Parts and Supplies relating to the Restoration
and Maintenance of the Japanese Samurai Sword. Service expertise backed up with almost 30 years of Nihon-to experience." That impresses me.
One visitor to my page recommended visiting music instrument repair shops for repairs to brass guards or scabbards. It sounds crazy, but it makes perfect sense that they could fix brass without seams and punch dents out of metal tubes.
S & S Firearms sells some authentic and some reproduction parts for reparing swords and firearms. Stop by their website and order a catalog for more info!
