Very interesting photos. I did not see any explanation so I was wondering if these are originals or reproductions. They are in wonderful condition. Thanks, Ken
The front ammo pouches with only a single line of sewing at the partition are likely repros. A few originals also had this simplified construction, but repros are all done in this style.
Lucky you, you find the sword belt I would like but without success at the moment. Excellent collection, congratulations to you and thank you for sharing it's always a pleasure to see so many mint items per square meter
I bought Augustin Siaz's book on Japanese equipment. His ammo pouch examples all have the single stitch. But from reading and searching the internet, Nick Komiya may be right that most had the double stitch.
