Thanks for the response. I might make another trigger guard for it out of some old (Eastern origin) brass I have knocking around. The top jaw, well that's another matter, though a friend of mine does restoration work as a business.
The picture you posted will be a useful guide.

Hi David.

When you get to it, I can PM you with close up pics of the varous parts to copy.
Meantime, I'll scrounge my parts bins and see if I have anything. LOL

MHO you don't need a trigger guard, half of these pistols had no trigger guards
Just put a bit of brasso and your pistol will shine like the sun
You just need to find a top jaw and a screw.

I am for the most part happy to have (most of ) a genuine pistol from that time and place. I would of course be interested in any parts from the bin that would heal its "wounds".
I have a parts bin myself, but nothing to go on this piece.

Hi David.

Well, I did go through my lock parts bins. But no luck finding a top jaw and screw that's correct. Kubur is right, as many of these were made without trigger guards. Your's would show evidence if it originally had one. But I will let you know if I find them. I'm always looking for spare lock parts for potential future projects. LOL

Thanks for that, greatly appreciated. Most of my efforts (and money) now go into Nihonto, which is what my parts bin is focused on.... But I am still tempted from time to time by other stuff.
