Japanese Type 3 Army Officer Sword

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

Very nice later (1944) example often called Marine Landing Swords. This has a very nice -machine made with hand finished 26" blade which I can not remove the tang so I will leave. It retains its original polish which is still quite fine even with the odd surface scratch and some stain toward sthe tip. The blade has no nail-catchers and no chips, it's very clean. With a close visual inspection using a jeweler's eye loupe, no fatal flaws can be detected nor is it bent. There is no evidence of attempts at sharpening. The scabbard has lots of small marks and scratches but no dents. It retains original paint. The fittings on this are your typical late war blackened steel. The original wrap is tight without fraying or looseness. The push button retention clip has a nice "click". There is a block of wood attched to the ring where is written "U.S. Marines Iwo Jima '45". Sorry I have no provenance, this is how I got this.
