1 antique World War II Japanese Samurai Army Officer's Late War/1944 pattern gunto sword available.  A WW2 Japanese Army Officer's katana would make an important addition to any collection.

The nakago/tang is signed--the signature reads 'Yoshihide'.  The reverse side of the nakago is dated.  

The blade measures 26 1/16" (66.2 cm) from blade tip to notch in the blade spine. 

This vintage World War II Japanese sword is in excellent condition.  There are no nicks in the blade edge.  There is only occasional carbon patina staining on the blade.  The temper line is nicely visible.  The mounts are in exceptional condition.  

All of the fittings are nice and tight on this sword.
