This is a good example of a Japanese Army Officer Shin Gunto Sword that dates from the World War II Era. It is mounted with a hand-forged blade that wears a cutting edge which measures 26 11/16 inches in length. The blade, although shows forging flaws along with some light scratches, does remain in nice condition with a lovely actively wavy temper line that extends to the tip on either side. The tang wears one hole and is unsigned. All the very nice fittings have also survived well, including the very nice substantially weighted tsuba and the hilt wrapping is tight with only a little fraying. The metal scabbard reflects battle fatigue with scuffing and a couple of hits near the drag, nevertheless does remains in very good servicable condition. Overall measuring 39 5/8 inches in length.
