Have a WW2 samurai sword to sell? Or a whole collection?
WE BUY JAPANESE SWORDS.
1 super rare scabbard for a World War II Japanese copper handle NCO sword available. This rare scabbard would make an important addition to any collection, and would complete a copper handle NCO sword that is missing its scabbard.
The scabbard for the early copper handle NCO sword had a brass plug instead of a drag fitting. See the reference photos 5 & 6 above from Jim Dawson’s excellent reference book, Swords of Imperial Japan 1868-1945 Cyclopedia Edition.
CONDITION:
The throat fitting is missing from this scabbard, but is the same throat fitting as the later NCO sword scabbards–which are way more commonplace. So a throat fitting can be pulled from an old or rough condition later NCO sword scabbard and put on this early scabbard. There is some expected corrosion on the scabbard–a little more towards the brass plug end. The scabbard was perhaps stored leaning up against a wall in a more damp area like a basement. This scabbard is so very hard to find.
This scabbard represents a rare opportunity to complete a copper handle NCO sword that came back from the War with no scabbard.
