WW2 Japanese Army Sword -OLD FAMILY KOTO BLADE -Antique -Silver SAMURAI CLAN MON
$0
1 Japanese WWII Army Officer’s sword available. The blade was originally carried by Samurai in the 1500’s A.D. The blade was remounted in rare Silvered Army mounts for carry in World War 2. This antique Japanese sword would make an important acquisition for any collection.
This sword has premium koshirae/mounts. The mounts would have been expensive the Officer who purchased them. This sword’s mounts are quite rare. In all my years dealing in Japanese military swords, I have only owned 6 or 7 swords with these desirable blue/Silver mounts. The handle wrap is always blue on this type of koshirae. The fittings have a Silver wash.
The unsigned blade measures 21 1/2″ (55 cm) from blade tip to notch in the blade spine.
The kashira/kabutogane fitting has a Silver Samurai family mon. The tsuba is the more desired pierced variation. The saya is wood with a lacquered finish.
The blade is from the 1500’s A.D. The hamon is jagged with ashi that jump all the way up to the shinoji line in places.

Antique Japanese Samurai Kusarigama Sickle/Hook & Chain -Old Katana Sword Collection
Antique Japanese Samurai Kusarigama Sickle/Hook & Chain -Old Katana Sword Collection
$0
1 antique Samurai kusarigama (hook and chain) weapon available. This Samurai weapon was made sometime in the 17th or 18th centuries. This hard-to-find Japanese antique would make an important addition to any collection.
Use of the kusarigama is called kusarigamajutsu. Attacking with the weapon usually entailed swinging the weighted chain in a large circle over one’s head, and then whipping it forward to entangle an opponent’s spear, sword, or other weapon, or immobilizing his arms or legs. This allows the kusarigama user to rush forward and strike with the hook.
A kusarigama wielder might also strike with the spinning weighted end of the chain directly while still outside the range of an opponent’s hand weapon.
There are great videos of martial artists practicing kusarigamajutsu on youtube.
This kusarigama measures 15 1/4 inches in length. The chain (including the weight) measures 63 inches.
This kusarigama was signed by the maker.
