[jdogrulz1]

Can someone please tell me if any of the the Kyu-Gunto, Colonial Occupation, or any other Japanese Sword have a complete Brass/Copper hilt?

I would love to post a photo but I dont have an server to run it from.:-(

You know you can post from a smart phone, Right?

Dawson has 2 all brass handled swords. Neither seem to be of the kyu-gunto style though.

There are several varieties of Japanese swords having brass hilts and very early Type 95 IJA NCO swords have copper hilts.
