1 antique Japanese Samurai tachi sword available. This tachi is accompanied by two sets of papers! Both the blade and the koshirae/mounts are papered. This very fine Japanese Samurai tachi sword would make an important addition to any collection.
The tachi koshirae is adorned with Samurai family mons. On the saya, gold and silver mons are finely lacquered. The saya hangers are signed! The tsuba is stunningly oversized–with a handsome aged patina. The mon on the tsuba is described as a ‘whirling log‘ in other cultures. The koshirae is papered.
The nakago/tang is mumei/unsigned. The signature was likely cut off when the sword was shortened. The blade is identified in the shinsa papers as a Bizen tachi. The blade has a bohi groove along its full length.
The blade measures 27 7/8″/71 cm (as measured properly with a tape pulled tight from the blade tip to the bottom of the notch in the habaki).
This sword has a suguha hamon.
Included with this tachi and two sets of papers is the wood tachi stand. The tachi stand is adorned with Samurai family mons as well.
