Description
This Samurai sword or katana is one of several we have in this auction that were obtained at the end of World War 2 and brought back to the United States. We will do our best to describe each piece, but please reach out to us with any questions. This katana features a blade or nagasa with a length of 17.75 inches and an overall length of 37 inches. The nagasa is unrestored and exhibits various small imperfections as shown in the photos. To our untrained eyes, we do not see a Hamon in the blade. The saya or scabbard is made of wood with a fine black string wrapped around it. The handle has the same black fine string but has been reenforced with black tape. There is one wood peg or mekugi. With the handle removed, both sides of the tang are visible. There is no signature that we can make out. Please review the photos for additional information.All items will be shipped with a signature required upon delivery and full insurance either via FedEx or the USPS Priority Mail. Worldwide shipping is available; however, no ocean freight will be offered on large items. Payment via bank wire for customers outside the USA is required. A shipping quote prior to the auction can be provided by emailing your postal code.
