1 Japanese WWII Army Officer's Sword available. This antique Japanese katana would make an important acquisition for any collection.
The blade is a Samurai blade from the early 1800's. The WW2 Army Officer sword mounts are in exceptional condition. The unsigned blade has a killer hamon/temper line. This is a beautiful sword. The nakago/tang has 3 holes in it--so was remounted several times.
The blade measures 26 3/16" (66.5 cm) from blade tip to notch in the blade spine. The saya is the early type with a high grade lacquer finish.
This sword has its original surrender tag attached to it. The tag has been translated--the Army Officer who surrendered this sword was 'Doishi Sousuke'.
This sword is in exceptional condition. The blade is in original Japanese polish. There are no nicks in the blade.
This fine World War 2 IJA Officer katana, with its cloth surrender tag, would make an important addition to a collection.
