Very Nice Japanese Kuy Gunto Army Officer Sword, Silver Family Mon
This is a nice example of a large Japanese D-Guard Army Officer’s Kyu Gunto Sword, Type 19. It is mounted with a beautiful machine made blade with a cutting edge which measures 27 1/2 inches in length that remains in very nice, original condition with only minor surface blemishes. The beautifully detailed D-guard has now developed a very nice, rich aged patina and features a wonderful silver family mon on its backstrap. The lovely white rayskin covered hilt has survived in healthy condition and with its original twisted wire wrap still nicely place. The plated metal scabbard has some minor flaking and one small ding to the drag, otherwise has survived in very nice serviceable condition as well. Overall measuring 38 5/8 inches in length.
