| This sword was taken from a
Shrine by a WWII G.I. - It was fully mounted with Bat and Moon tsuba, Fuchi-Gashira
and Menuki. It was sold at the largest Flea market in this country on the
east coast to a very large dealer. That dealer sold it to another man,
who cut the mountings apart and sold all pieces separately at a sword show.
My friend bought the sword blade in it's present condition of full polish, very good Shira-saya with good Gold Covered Habaki and NTHK paper. There are some open Hada areas on one side. |
30 1/4" Ubu!
NTHK Kanteisho, Shira-saya and gold-covered Habaki Price Adjustment: 12k
