VERY NICE LARGE JAPANESE ARMY KUY GUNTO OFFICER SWORD
This is a very nice example of a Japanese D-Guard Army Officer’s Kyu Gunto Sword. It is mounted with a well made grooved, oil tempered blade that measures 27 1/8 inches in length. The blade remains in very nice original condition with a wonderful actively wavy temper line and with only a little minor surface blemishes. The fabulous large D-guard has now beautifully patined with age and is enhanced with a silver family mon on the backstrap. The beautiful white rayskin covered hilt remains very healthy and continues to wear its original twisted wire wrap securely in place. The plated metal scabbard remains very nice as well with only some flaking to the plating but no dings. Overall measuring 38 inches in length. Be sure to add me to your favorites list.
