Lot 890
KOTO-ERA "O-SURIAGE" KATANA BLADEFinely-forged, massive katana blade, measuring 27" from "kissaki"(tip) to the habaki stop, and 36 1/4" overall, with a blade width of 1" at the kissaki and 1 1/4" at the habaki, with a weight of more than two pounds. The blade dates from the Koto period, prior to 1596. The sword is "mumei", meaning that the tang bears no signature or other identifying inscriptions, and the blade is "o-suriage", meaning that it was cut down at the tang to reduce the overall length. The tang shows a finely-oxidized, dark patina, with files marks evident on both sides, and two holes for "mekugi", or securing pins. Strong ridges appear on each side of the blade, with a third along the spine. The forging process has resulted in a great deal of "hataraki" or activity visible in the grain. The blade edge shows a wavy and distinct "hamon", or temper pattern, along the entire length. The surface of the steel shows some minor, isolated oxidation and scratches, expected given the age. The habaki is of mottled silver-plated copper. The blade is housed in a "shirasaya", a plain wooden scabbard and grip lacking a "tsuba" (hand guard) and any decoration. These mountings are used when a blade is to be stored for a long period of time, as the typical lacquered wood mountings retain moisture and encourage corrosion. The shirasaya scabbard bears the ink inscription: "From the collection of Utsunomiya Hiroshi", while the grip is similarly inscribed: "Suginami Ward, Koenji 4-537". The blade is secured within the shirasaya grip by a single mekugi. An extremely well-forged, antique example.
Lot 891
WAKIZASHI SWORD BLADE BY A STUDENT, IN THE STYLE OF A SADA MUNE SWORDFinely forged Japanese Wakizashi blade, 26 3/4" long, created during the Koto period, likely circa 1450. The tang features the appropriate layer of fine brown oxidation, and bears the signature "Sadamune", in reference to a highly-regarded sword maker of the era. The sword was likely forged by a student, and the signature was applied by his master in recognition of his talent. The reverse of the tang bears a date inscription. The blade is entirely hand-forged, with the grain of the folded metal clearly visible. A brass "habaki", or collar, is present above the tang, and is deeply etched with leaf pattern. The blade is housed in a "shirasaya", a plain wooden scabbard and grip lacking a "tsuba" (hand guard) and any decoration. These mountings are used when a blade is to be stored for a long period of time, as the typical lacquered wood mountings retain moisture and encourage corrosion. The blade is retained within the "tsuka" (hilt) by a wooden peg, or "mekugi". The blade bears very slight corrosion near the tip on one side, but is otherwise a fine antique example from a skilled swordsmith.
Lot 892

The blade is very good, with etching still dark, though there is a small bit of corrosion where the blasfe meets the crossguard. Running lines are minimal. The scabbard bears a good deal of oxidation and one of the fittings lacks a screw: perhaps a little restoration might be called for with such a rare piece. Estimated accordingly.

SS SERVICE DAGGERLate M33 SS service dagger at an affordable price. The hardwood ebony-stained grip is fitted with the original SS runes button which is entirely intact, though the national eagle fitted beneath is possibly a later replacement. The grip is chipped at top and bottom, undoubtedly due to the wood swelling in a damp climate. The nickle-plated fittings are very good, retaining sharp detail with very little wear. The round pommel nut shows no evidence of having been ever turned thus we believe this dagger has never been apart. The blade is beautiful: The engraving: "Meine Ehre heisst Treue" is deeply cut and retains almost all of the original darkeining. Running marks are nominal, and the cross-graining on the blade remains distinct throughout. The reverese is marked: "RZM 1198/39" with SS runes. The scabbard is in equally fine condition, with the fittings bright and fine, and the bulbous tip undamaged. The black paint is almost perfect, with only a very few miniscule chips wiely scattered. Also present is a regulation black ss leather hanger with the snap clip marked "RZM M5/71". But for the chipped grip and replaced grip, an excellent dagger worthy of restoration.
