NIHONTO Japanese WW II Army Sword/Antique Samurai/Tassel/SIGNED OLD FAMILY BLADE
NIHONTO Japanese WW II Army Sword/Antique Samurai/Tassel/SIGNED OLD FAMILY BLADE
$0
1 very fine traditionally-made Japanese Samurai sword available. The blade itself is an old family blade. This sword was made between 1673 A.D. and 1736 A.D. by Fujiwara Teruyuki. This sword was remounted in fine Army Officer mounts for carry in World War 2. This sword was carried by true Samurai, and then later again during World War 2. This fine Samurai sword would make an important addition to any collection.
The military mounts are of exceptional quality. Note the premium over-sized pierced tsuba. The fittings are early–the copper fittings have a rich red color. Further evidence of this sword’s high-end mounts is evidenced by looking at the kashira–note that there was originally a Silver family mon/crest. The G.I. that brought this sword back pulled the family crest, because he knew it was made of Silver. At the time, something like this little fitting of Silver was more important to many of the G.I.’s, because no one thought of Japanese swords as collectibles back then.
This sword has an excellent blue/brown Company Grade Officer’s tassel.
The blade measures 22 5/16″ (56.7 cm) from blade tip to notch in the blade spine. This sword has a fine cherry blossum sarute.
