1 antique traditionally-made Russo-Japanese/World War II Japanese Kyu-gunto Army Samurai sword available.  This sword has an old family blade from Samurai times.  A kyu-gunto katana would make a rare, and important addition to any collection.

The habaki is carved on one side with the images of mice (which are carved more intricately than can be seen in the photos–the hair on each mouse is carved in in fine detail).  The reverse side of the habaki has a form of plant carved into it.  Interestingly, the maker of the sword’s Army fittings has its name stamped into the guard. 

This sword has a longer kissaki than normal–the kissaki measures 1 3/4″.
