Type 97 Naval Kai-gunto w Combat Cover

Please note this item is no longer available and you were redirected to our Archives.

Here's a very nice example of an Officer grade Shin-gunto The 24 inch machine-made blade rates Exc++/NM. It has a nice clean cutting edge. The tip looks good and the fit is nice and tight. The tang is nicely signed and numbered as are all the parts internally. The scabbard is black lacquered, from what I can see, and the entire surface except right near the throat has a shrunken leather combat cover. The scabbard is the type without a release latch. The ashi is steel. The tsuba is a chemically blackened bronze oval with decorative lines surrounding the beautifully detailed seppa's depicting the rising sun. The handle is a hand fitted wooden sleeve wrapped in unpolished black shark skin and wrapped again in a twisted silk tape. The two menki's depict three cherry blossoms on three disks each. The fittings are gold plated brass. Finishing this is a hilt cover in leather. Nice complete example.

Rating:    Exc++
Item Number:    SW-21905
