JAPANESE WWII ARMY OFFICERS DISPLAY PIECE

A very nice 66cm Showa period blade, which is devoid of any chips. There is a very faint view of the wavy Hamon. The tang is complete with a Showa stamp, which is standard on any blades made after 1934. The actual date of manufacture of this blade is 1941; it has a 7-character signature. Fitted into its standard military mounts, the cloth wrapping for the ray skin-covered hilt is in nice condition with slight wear, no fraying to the top binding. All of the fittings are complete within the cloth binding. The sword is with its tassel ring. All of the washers that hold the tsuba (cross guard) to the blade are complete; none have been lost. The scabbard paint is excellent. The sprung-loaded button that holds the sword firmly in the scabbard is all complete and working correctly. A very nice example of a Japanese army officer's sword from WWII.
