1 vintage pre-WW2 thru WW2 Japanese katana sword available.  This katana has a dragon horimono/carving on the blade.  This gendai katana would make a fine addition to any collection.

This gendai sword is unsigned.  There is no arsenal stamp on this sword.  This katana measures 26 1/8" (66.4 cm) (measured properly from the blade tip to the notch in the blade spine).

This gendai katana has a straight hamon with the design of Mt. Fuji incorporated into the hamon about 8" back from the blade tip.  The old Samurai saya/scabbard is wooden with gold and black lacquer.

The front side of the blade has horimono/carving of a dragon chasing the sacred ball or flaming/magical pearl.  The reverse side of the blade has a sanskrit character. 

The handle wrap on this sword is excellent.  The sword fits perfectly in the saya, and has a nice secure fit at the habaki/saya throat.  The saya has lacquer chips.  There is just one tiny nail-catcher type nick in the blade edge.  The blade has a few occasional spots of pitting.  The hamon/temper line displays beautifully.  The blade is perfectly straight. 

The temper line and boshi are perfectly healthy.  This sword is guaranteed against fatal flaws.
