VERY NICE JAPANESE CAVALRY OFFICER SWORD WITH ACCOUTREMENT
This is a very nice example of a Japanese Cavalry Officer’s Sword, Type 19 complete with all of its Accoutrement which includes the Sword Hanger, Sword Tassel Knot and Lanyard. This Sword would have been in service all the way up to World War II and is mounted with a slightly curved, grooved, plated machine made blade that measures 30 7/8 inches in length. The blade remains in very nice original condition with just minor surface blemishes. The guard wears a very nicely detailed pommel which frames a lovely horn hilt that has also survived in very healthy condition and the backstrap features a lovely silver family mon. The beautiful, original black Sword Knot is present and remains very nice in its condition. The corded Lanyard is also present and shows only slight wear. The plated metal scabbard has some light flaking along with some “hand” wear where it was carried and a very slight bend near the tip, otherwise also remains in very good serviceable condition. Also present on the scabbard is the original leather Belt Sword Hanger that has survived in very healthy condition as well. Overall the Sword measures 38 1/8 inches in length. This is a very nice original grouping. TO SEE ADDITIONAL PHOTOS PLEASE SCROLL DOWN. Be sure to add me to your favorites list. Check out my other items. The free listing tool.
