Description
1 WWII Japanese Naval Sword available. A WW2 Japanese Naval Officer’s sword would make an important addition to any collection.
All military fittings are of excellent quality. The saya has the collector-coveted sharkskin covering. The fine sharkskin surface is protected by a rare Naval combat cover. The blade measures 25 5/16″ (64.3 cm) from blade tip to notch in the blade spine.
The nakago/tang is signed with three kanji. The naval anchor stamp is also present.
This WW2 Navy Officer’s sword has gold-gilt fittings. The blade is made of no-rust (stainless steel). This katana has a straight hamon/temper line.
CONDITION:
This WWII Japanese Naval Sword is in exceptional condition. The handle wrap is perfect. The sharkskin saya is perfect. The black leather combat cover is in excellent condition–the combat cover can be restitched by hand (it is likely that a vet or collector wanted to see if the sharkskin was in good condition so had carefully cut the stitches).
The temper line and boshi are perfectly healthy. This sword is guaranteed against fatal flaws.
