A good example of a Japanese shin-gunto katana measuring 40 1/4" overall with a 27" blade showing no apparent hamon. Silvered copper habaki with a classic 4 cherry blossom gilded brass tsuba with 1 seppe below and two above. Matching fuchi and kashira with white same and brass three cherry blossom menuki. Dark green tsuka-ito and a dark green metal saya. CONDITION: blade has a good polish but needs a cleaning. Tsuka shows moderate wear and cannot be removed because a heavily rusted screw and nut holds it on. Saya has an oxidized finish. (02-25305/BF). NON-GUN. $300-500.
