This is a Kai Gunto (Sea military Sword) sword made for WWII and is in very good condition. The blade has some scuffing and minor stains. This sword was stored very well after WWII. The blade is made at an arsenal and is oil tempered. The samegawa saya (Shark skin scabbard) is very desirable collectable. The blade has an arsenal stamp and signature. Many smiths worked for arsenals thru-out Japan.
Overall this a very good military collectable sword made for WWII and a part of history.
