Description
1 water-tempered Special Order Japanese WWII Army Sword by Amahide. This fine antique Japanese sword would make an important acquisition for any collection.
There are 11 kanji on the nakago. This sword was made by Amahide.
This sword was special Silvered fittings. A green or green-blue silk wrap is almost always combined with Silver-gilt fittings–as is the case here.
A Samurai family mon is on the kabutogane. The original Company Grade (Lieutenant) blue/brown tassel is still present.
The blade measures 24 3/4″ (62.8 cm) from blade tip to notch in the blade spine. As mentioned, this is a traditional gendai sword–there are no arsenal or Showa stamps on the nakago.
The hamon is complex–often splitting into two parallel lines. This is a exceptional sword.
CONDITION:
This sword is in excellent condition. The blade has only a few occasional flea bite size nicks and an occasional spot of mild staining. The hamon and boshi are perfectly healthy.
