An older blade with its problems but a great display piece. This katana is waiting for a new owner, it appears to be an older Koto blade with a bit to be desired. The blade has seen its share of use on the battle field for hundreds of years and up to WWII. It is in a rare version of military mounts with civilian tsuba and leather wrapped tsuka. This item has a lot of military crasher to it.
The cutting edge is 26.5 and the tang appears to be ubu with 2 holes. The sword is unsigned and ready for a new home!
The mounts are military. There is a wooden surrender tag with much Kanji on either side waiting to be deciphered, an extra treat!
