WWII Imperial Japanese Navy IJN Officers Dress Sword & Scabbard - Fine Original

Description

WWII Imperial Japanese Navy IJN Officers Dress Sword & Scabbard Fine Original Condition; wonderful condition blade, handle, and guard - some loss of gilding to the fittings of both the sword and scabbard - the leather remains unbroken and pliable while exhibiting surface wear and scuffing as photographed.  The blade measures 26 1/2 inches, the swords total length is 30 1/2 inches, and total length seated in the scabbard is 33 1/4 inches.  The folding hilt lock holds the sword firm in the scabbard.  This is a fine example of an exceptionally difficult to find WW2 Japanese Navy Sword.  The vast majority of Japanese Navy Swords were lost during the war or not surrendered.  Let the photos do the talking for this original early-war gem.  A truly wonderful addition to any advanced WW2 collection of edged weapons.
