Sorry Rick I didn't know. Ebay link removed.
I had a look through my emails where I was questioning the seller on the sword, and he said it had "new clothes". Personally I think the Shirasaya style fittings were made for the sword shortly before I bought it and that his business is to find old blades and mount them in a simple shirasaya for sale.
The sword that I was linking to is actually quite different to my sword, but the wooden fittings are very similar.
