A Japanese katana, the 69 cm blade with a cord bound fishskin grip, in a leather mounted scabbard (leather held on by string), 100 cm (overall) See illustration Condition report Edge knocks to blade See illustration Report by GH The press stud does function as it should. The blade does not appear to be in any way out of shape or bent, and the same goes for the scabbard. The scabbard appears to generally be complete, with the cast detailing at either end present and in reasonably good condition. The rest of the scabbard has many paint chips but appears to be structurally good. We were unable to remove the hilt, so we cannot say if the tang is signed.

Report by GH Blade generally in good condition commensurate with age with some pitting and wear, with engraved decoration still visible, but somewhat worn. Hilt also in good condition with rubbing to the gilding but no obvious structural damage or repairs.
