Description

Japanese 44 pat mounted Katana 28 inch older blade
Product Code [ s516 ]

Japanese 44 pat mounted Katana, blade is a touch over 28 inches, so quite a large sword.
older blade, unsigned with 3 tang holes, excellent hilt, nice scabbard but has a bit of lacquer damage along the seam, also a couple of other cracks in the lacquer, scabbard is a lighter colour than the usually are,
Blade has a nice hamon, its a little faint in places, it could do with a light polish to bring out the hamon & work in the blade & i think it's probably worth the trouble to have a polish done or just enjoy as it is, blade has the usual dark stains & scratches
