 or Sign In to see what it's worth.
Beautifil Navy Kai Gunto Sword with High Grade Fittings,Signed and Dated-Sword is 38 1/2 Inches Overall with a 26 1/8Inch cutting edge.The Blade is 1 1/8Inch wide at the Habaki,and 13/16Inch Wide at the Kissaki,with a 3/4Inch Sori (Curve).It has a Chu Kissaki (Long),and is made of the Stainless and Carbon Steel mix the Navy used.This sword has a Suguha Hamon(Straight) with a Turnback at the Kissaki,a little hard to see but there.The Tang has the Anchor stamp above the Signature,but I am not sure of the correct translation for this Swordsmith,someone a little smarter than me will need to read that Kanji.The Date reads"A Lucky Day in November 1942".The Fittings on this sword are All Copper,including theTsuba and the 2 "Rising Sun"Seppa that have a gold wash on the back.The smaller Seppa are high quality brass,and all are numbered #120 including the Fuchi on the Tsuka handle.The Saya is really nice sanded sharkskin,although there is a crack in the seam close to the end,which could be fixed,but is not that bad.The saya is still solid,but the throat fitting is missing.They are easy enough to get though.The blade is in Excellent condition with some surface scratches near the tip and last third of the blade,and there are 2 Tiny nailcatchers on the last 6 Inches of the Blade edge,hard to see,but I tried to photograph them.No Bends,Nicks,Hagires,or Pitting.Blade is in Excellent Polish for it's age,except for the suface scratches captured in the photos.Really a great Navy sword,hard to find in this condition,and outfitted with these copper fittings,there were many options for Japanese Officers to choose for their sword fittings,these are High end,and for sure would have cost more.I can send more pictures to whoever wants them,and happy to answer any questions.The older WW2 Japanese Swords to me were better made,with better steel,and of course there were Alot Fewer Navy Swords since the Navy was much Smaller than the Army,and so many of these nice swords went to the bottom of the Ocean!Sword is Guaranteed to be as Described,this is a Great Navy for any collection.I will Ship to whatever location you are,just make sure you can Legally Recieve this sword to your address Before you Bid.I can not be Responsible for Any Customs problems,so please check first.International Shipping will be At Cost per the Location.Insurance will be Included in the Shipping Cost,this item must ship Insured.Thankyou,!
