Item: 100Gendai10 |
Signature: Mumei
Nagasa (Length): 27 1/2"
Construction: Shinogi-Zukuri
Mune: Iori-Mune
Nakago: Ubu
Hamon:
Suguha (Straight temper)
Kitae (Grain):
Mokume Ha
Boshi: Maru
Mountings:
All original Shin-gunto
mount. The scabbard is in
mint condition with leather
covered. The leather needs
to sewing back since the
string is cut. The bottom of
the leather showed a little
burning and this sword might
be saved by G.I. when it was
ordered to destroy. The Ito
on the handle is cut in the
middle of the handle so I
use the plastic warp to hold
it together. This might be
Shin-shinto sword since the
file mark is less visible
and the tang is a little
dark than the average WWII
sword.
Overall Condition: Excellence
original polish . There is
one small dirt
spot on the tip and few
scratches when drawing out
of the scabbard. No chips,
Nicks or wares. The Temperline
and Boshi are visible.
The standard Shingunto
length is 24 1/2'' to 26''
and this one is a high
quality sword since this
sword is special order and
its length is longer than
normal standard size.
