1 antique World War II Japanese Samurai Navy Officer's kai-gunto sword available. This sword would make an important addition to any collection.
This sword is signed. This sword was made by Fukumoto Kanemune. There is no arsenal stamp on the tang/nakago, so this may be a gendai sword. At the very least though, this sword will be oil-tempered.
The blade measures 22 1/2" (measured properly from blade tip to the bottom of the notch in the habaki).
This sword has a black leather combat combat cover over its wood saya. Some collectors refer to these swords as Naval Landing Forces swords.
This sword is in nearly perfect condition. The metal ring reinforcing the saya throat has pulled away from its lacquer after 73+ years since the War.
