Metal tsukas for NCO shingunto aren't signed. The blades, etc are all machine
made.

So there's no point in disassembling the tsuka, I guess. Thanks for the hint.

Were they even supossed to be removed?

BTW: I see lots of tsukas being sold over EBay (where I bought mine!) and online. Since they reportedly can't be reused, what's the point of doing so?

Best regards
