JAPANESE WW2 SHIN GUNTO ARMY SWORD -GENDAITO -Rare Blade Shape w/Silvered Mounts













JAPANESE WW2 SHIN GUNTO ARMY SWORD -GENDAITO -Rare Blade Shape w/Silvered Mounts
$0
1 Japanese World War II Army Officer’s Samurai sword available. This katana was made by Masashige. This Japanese sword would make an important addition to any collection.
This is a desirable hand-made gendai sword. Note the rare blade shape. This is the first World War 2 gendai I have owned (or seen) that has this desirable blade shape. This sword is something special.
Matsubayashi Masashige was awarded ‘Special Honor Noted Seat/Sword Forging Teacher’ at the 1941 Exhibition. Just 33 of the hundreds of swordsmith participants in the 1941 Exhibition were awarded this ranking. This sword’s hamon is exceptional. See the photos for a closer look. This sword was water-tempered.
In 1942 Mr. Kurihara Hikosaburo, a historian who helped to bring out a revival of the sword-making tradition in Japan, ranked 400 wartime Japanese swordsmiths into 7 skill categories–saijo saku (highest), jojo saku, jo saku, chujo saku, chu saku, chuge saku, and ge saku. Matsubayashi Masashige was ranked in the second highest skill category by Mr. Hikosaburo.
This sword is dated October, 1934. Very early.
The blade measures 24 1/4″ (61.6 cm) from blade tip to notch in the blade spine.
Note the superior koshirae. The mounts were custom-ordered. Note the Silvered fittings. The handle ito/wrap is lacquered. Very unusual in a World War 2 sword. The saya is wood with a reddish textured lacquer finish.
This sword is, in all respects, a cut above the rest.

This sword has premium koshirae/mounts. The mounts would have been expensive the Officer who purchased them. This sword’s mounts are quite rare.

The fittings have a Silver wash.
The unsigned blade measures 21 1/2″ (55 cm) from blade tip to notch in the blade spine.
The kashira/kabutogane fitting has a Silver Samurai family mon. The tsuba is the more desired pierced variation. The saya is wood with a lacquered finish.
The blade is from the 1500’s A.D. The hamon is jagged with ashi that jump all the way up to the shinoji line in places.

Antique Japanese Samurai Kusarigama Sickle/Hook & Chain -Old Katana Sword Collection






Antique Japanese Samurai Kusarigama Sickle/Hook & Chain -Old Katana Sword Collection
$0
1 antique Samurai kusarigama (hook and chain) weapon available. This Samurai weapon was made sometime in the 17th or 18th centuries. This hard-to-find Japanese antique would make an important addition to any collection.
Use of the kusarigama is called kusarigamajutsu. Attacking with the weapon usually entailed swinging the weighted chain in a large circle over one’s head, and then whipping it forward to entangle an opponent’s spear, sword, or other weapon, or immobilizing his arms or legs. This allows the kusarigama user to rush forward and strike with the hook.
A kusarigama wielder might also strike with the spinning weighted end of the chain directly while still outside the range of an opponent’s hand weapon.
There are great videos of martial artists practicing kusarigamajutsu on youtube.
This kusarigama measures 15 1/4 inches in length. The chain (including the weight) measures 63 inches.
This kusarigama was signed by the maker.
