Yoshitsugu Ubu Zaimei Tachi
Late Heian/Early Kamakura Sugata Shrine Sword
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 grain areas on one side.

 30 1/4" Ubu!
