cool thanks for that.  nice to know its original.  not sure if it has all the parts in there original state.  i think i was very stupid when i first got it and cut the grips off which i think were the originals!  oh well.  i bought some more kuwahara ones from japan via ebay.   i have so many questions i think i might have to start some threads ;)
