1 antique old Japanese Samurai sword available.  This 17th century Japanese wakizashi would make an important addition to any collection.

This Samurai sword dates to approximately the 17th century.  There are 3 holes in the tang.  The nakago is unsigned.  The handsome saya/scabbard is quite unusual.  It has fish scales imbedded in the lacquer.  This saya is very fine. 

The fuchi and kashira are matching (see photos below).  The tsuba is signed 'Kunihiro'. 

The blade measures 17 13/16" (45.2 cm) from blade tip to notch in the blade spine.

This sword was carried by true Samurai.

The hamon had been obscured by surface rust.  So the blade was worked on just enough so that the temper line could be discerned.  A dynamic, wavy hamon is visible through the scratches.  This sword has a killer hamon, and will reveal an exciting temper line once polished.  There are no nicks in the blade edge.  The saya lacquer has an occasional chip.  The sword fits exactly as its should in the saya.  The handle wrap is short in one spot next to the kashira.
