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 25 inch machine-made blade rates Exc++. There are a few odd surface scratches and a couple rough spots to the cutting edge. It has a nice clean cutting edge. The tip looks good and the fit is nice and tight. The scabbard is polished shark-skin over wood, with gold plated brass fittings. There is a bit of damge and scrapes. Each fitting depicts cherry blossoms and leaves over a pebbled background. The scabbard body is in fairly good condition with some minor spots and scuffs throughout. The dent free scabbard is the type without a release latch. 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 bklack paper 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. The ishizuke nicely matches the kabutogane. Finally finishing this is a nice but frayed original tassel.
