Nice Japanese Army Officer Sword
This is a good example of a War-Time Japanese Army Officer’s Shin Gunto Sword. It is mounted with a lovely, unmarked, oil-tempered blade that wears a cutting edge which measures 24 1/4 inches in length. The blade is uncleaned, untouched in its condition with a light surface oxidation now developed which could be cleaned up in the right hands, and does continue to wear it beautiful, wide actively wavy temper line. All the fittings including the wrapping remain very nice and are wonderfully accentuated with fabulous golden civilian lobster menuki on either side. The War-Time wooden scabbard wears a leather combat covering that although is a bit weathered with some of the stitching now loose, does remain in good serviceable condition. Overall measuring 39 inches in length. Be sure to add me to your favorites list. Check out my other items. The item “NICE JAPANESE ARMY OFFICER SWORD” is in sale since Friday, November 18, 2016.
