Description
Imperial Japanese Army Type 98 Shin Gunto: This 27 1/4" long IJA Officers Shin Gunto has a fullered blade signed Gassan and dated 1919 (Taisho Period)). It is hand forged and water tempered. The scabbard is brown lacquered wood and is missing its metal scabbard throat. The handle is still wrapped with its original binding. One of the menuki had a family mon applied to it but is now missing. The sword is in original "been there, done that" condition but it's honest. The blade has some minor scratches and pitting but will restore very nicely.
