Ceremonial sword; please refer to pictures to verify, does not appear to have any markings that I could find. Comes with a blade that measures approx 28 3/4" long, overall length is approx 34", weighs approx 1 pound 3.5 ounce, comes with the very decorative brass knuckle guard and handle with shows the 10 petal cherry blossoms, the inside of the handle appears to feel like a Bakelite material with possible wire in between, Refer to pictures, the blade is not sharp, comes with a point, again refer to pictures to determine authenticity. There is some wear and marks to this sword but overall looks pretty good, but you be the judge!
