Old C. 1850- WW2 Era, Japanese signed Katana Blade, Habaki & Saya

Description

Old C. 1850- WW2 Era, Japanese signed Katana Blade, Habaki & Saya. The tang has an eight kanji signature and the sword is Ubu one hole and quite healthy. Surface of the blade has been lightly cleaned and displays some residue oxidization, rust and pitting. The Hamon is a combination of Choji and Ganome and is complete running all the way through the tip. This is a prime candidate for restoration and polish. We have been unable to translate the signature. The nagasa is 25 1/2 inches. This blade has no fatal flaws including hagari. Included is the fine original habaki which fits very well and a partially reworked wood saya. See photos for greater details. Condition is “Used”. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail. Sale final. No international sales. Buyer pays all return shipping cost if required. Ask needed questions prior to purchase. quinnstudios.com
