Japanese Samurai Sword Katana WWII Bringback




Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:17012011Theme: Samurai
Type: Katana
Original Description:
Up for sale is a Japanese "Katana" brought back from WWII. I don't know much more about its WWII history. I have had several people tell me the blade is from at least the Muromachi period. It may be Nanbokucho but would need to be examined in hand. It was more than likely a Tachi at one point, as the nagasa is 24-7/8" long and you can clearly see it has been shortened a great deal(original length may have been over 30 inches) the sori is 9/16" currently and overall length is 32"
...r>As far as I know the blade was rusted at one time and the previous owner decided to sand/grind all the rust off damaging the blade, then proceeded to acid etch it. Which is a shame because it appears to have been once a very nice blade. The blade seems to be slightly bent as well. The Tsuka, Fuchi, and Kashira are NOT original to this(they were added to I can mount the sword. I will include another mekugi as the other has been removed one too many times) They were added on as the original was too far gone. The Saya, Tsuba, Habaki, and seppa are original.

The hamon is quite nice on the blade. I would describe it as Notare with Ara Nie and Sunagashi. It looks like layers of sand on a beach. It has a Kaeri fukai boshi.

If you're looking for a nice blade this is not it. If you're looking for a blade to study and handle freely to get the characteristics of a Japanese blade this may be it.

I am only limited to 12 photos. If you'd like more let me know.On Oct-14-19 at 18:51:11 PDT, seller added the following information:I'd like to add(which I forget) the Fuchi and Kashira are junk Chinese fittings. Please don't expect anything special. Listing is mainly for the blade. Tsuka was only added so the blade could be mounted.
