NO OVERSEAS SHIPPING ON THIS ITEM DUE TO THE LENGTH OF THE POLE.
1 antique Japanese Samurai pole naginata. If you look for the hard-to-find–this full pole naginata would be an important acquisition.
This samurai naginata is 200-300 years old. The naginata blade itself is signed. This naginata was made by Shimohara Hiroshige. This naginata measures 15 3/4″ (40 cm) as measured properly with a tape pulled tight from the tip to the bottom of the notch in the habaki.
When mounted on the pole, this naginata measures 7 ft. 8.75 in. (235.6 cm). It’s very difficult to find a full pole–U.S. soldiers, sailors, & airmen in the U.S. Occupied Forces typically pulled the naginata off the pole–or sawed off the top portion of the pole so it would fit in their duffle bag. The bottom half of the pole was usually discarded. This naginata has its full pole.
This pole has an exhibit number from when it was in a museum. The exhibit number ’23_’ is affixed to the pole about 4″ below the habaki. This pole has excellent fittings. Please reference the photos for a closer look. The pole’s base fitting is missing–which is the case more often than not with naginata and yari.
