| 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!
NTHK Kanteisho, Shira-saya and gold-covered Habaki Price Adjustment: 12k
New much lower price: $8k
