Nice Japanese Kai Gunto Naval Officer Sword
This is a very nice example of a Japanese Naval Officer’s Kai Gunto Sword. It is mounted with a beautiful blade which wears a cutting edge that measures 23 3/16 inches in length. The blade has survived in very nice condition with only some minor surface blemishes and boasts a fabulously active wavy temper line that extends to the tip on either side. The tang is signed which translates to “TANIGAWA ISSHIN “. The hilt and all the fittings also remain very nice, healthy and clean in their condition. The scabbard wears a beautiful shagreen covering that although reflects surface wear, does remain healthy. The scabbard is also mounted with pretty detailed fittings which continue to wear traces of their original gold wash. Overall measuring 38 1/2 inches in length.
