Description:
This is a smith & made sword, measuring 36 1/2" overall, that is file marked along the tang in a kesho & yasuri pattern, and also has a painted serial number (84). The mumei blade measures 25 1/4" with an o & kissaki tip and a lovely ko & choji temper line pattern with nie border. The habaki is brass with a lightly worn white metal plate finish, and there are multiple metal seppa, as well as a small leather tab covering the pass-through for the never installed scabbard catch. The standard Army cherry blossom tsuba has some of the original gilt finish remaining, and the remainder worn to a mottled ochre-brown patina. The grip has an intact cord wrap and rayskin covering. The fuchi & kashira are standard Imperial Army issue, and the original metal lanyard bail is still in place. The sword is housed in a lacquered wooden saya with leather cover and single blade up hanger loop. This is a great looking sword, with a lovely blade, and would make a wonderful addition to any collection.
