Nice Japanese Dress Naval Officer Sword Wwii
This is a good example of a Japanese Naval Officer’s Dress Sword which dates from the World War II Era. It is mounted with a beautiful machine made blade that measures 25 5/8 inches in length which remains in very nice original condition with only some minor surface blemishes. The lovely D-guard is beautifully detailed and frames a samé covered hilt with the original wire wrap still tightly in place. Pretty cherry blossoms “sakura” motifs adorn the pommel, the backstrap and the guard face. The lovely shagreen covered scabbard has an aged seam opening as well as a crack to the shagreen, but is not broken and does remain in good condition as well as wears wonderfully detailed fittings. Overall measuring 33 inches in length. Be sure to add me to your favorites list. Check out my other items.
