Old Antique Japanese Samurai Officers Sword, WW2, Kai Gunto, Bizen Sukesada
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:46084487 |
Up for sale is a Japanese samurai sword in WW2 navy officer kai gunto mounts.
This sword was probably never taken into combat, as can be seen from the excellent, completely intact ray skin on the scabbard. This specimen is in the finest condition I've seen for kai gunto mounts, and even comes with the original tassel. I purchased this sword directly from a sword dealer in Japan.
The blade is from the koto era, and is made by the Bizen smith Sukesada, as shown on the nakago. The t...emper line is nice and active as you would expect from this Bizen smith.
The blade has a 21.0" cutting edge. The sakihaba is 0.75", and the motohaba is 1.25".
Don't miss your chance to own such a pristine kai gunto sword with a blade that was made about 500 years ago.
I will ship overseas to most countries, but buyers are responsible for checking that it is legal to ship swords to their country. Overseas buyers should also email me for a shipping quote before bidding. I will not ship to China, Hong Kong, or Russia. Payment is required within 3 days from the end of the auction.
All sales are final, so please ask your questions first before bidding.
