1 antique Japanese samurai arrow point available. This is a rare form for a Japanese arrow head. This desirable Japanese yanone/arrowhead would make a fine addition to any collection.
The ancient 17th-18th century Japanese yajiri/arrowpoint would have been used by true Samurai. This large arrowpoint measures 9 1/4" (23.5 cm), including the tang. The point itself measures 2 1/16" (5.2 cm) by 1 5/16" wide (3.3 cm).
The hamon/temper line is visible along both blade edges.
The tang/nakago is marked with a number 'X124'. I have seen this very style of marking before. This point was either in a museum, or was in a known collection--perhaps the Compton collection?
This fine Japanese Samurai yanone is in excellent condition. The point is in original Japanese polish--a collector may wish to have it polished. There are no cracks/hagire--this point is in fine condition. The hamon/temper line is healthy.
