RAREST Manchurian Mounts! MANTETSU Japanese WW2 Army Officer Sword -th
$0
One of the most rare Japanese military swords of World War 2–the Manchurian mounts Mantetsu. These mounts–as well as the blade–were made in Manchuria. Some of these Manchuria mount Mantetsu also have a rail stamp or a Manchurian Railway Co. stamp. Have one in your collection yet? This is your chance–these don’t come along often. When considering this rare mount sword, think ‘bragging rights’, think ‘I finally found one’, think about telling your friends about it ‘do you have one? …pity, (I do).’
This rare Mantetsu sword’s cutting edge/nagasa is 26 1/4″.

Water-tempered Army Gendai Sword -made with Tamahagane -WW2 w/Mon -FULL POLISH -th
$0
1 full polish Japanese WW2 Army Officer gendai sword–traditionally-made with Tamahagane.
This fine gendaito was made with greater time and effort than the majority of World War 2 Japanese gendai swords. As stated, the swordsmith made this sword using the full traditional process. This sword was forged with tamahagane (Japanese sand steel), then water-tempered. A beautiful complex hada is visible in the blade. See photos for a closer look.
This is a mumei blade. Shinsa groups have been papering handmade gendai swords for several years now–especially swords exhibiting this level of skill.
The blade’s nagasa is 26 9/16″.
This sword has a Samurai family mon on the kabutogane, as well as a fine cherry blossom sarute.
