This is a very beautiful high ranking Japanese Army Officer Dress Parade Sword. It is mounted with a machine made blade that measures 27 1/4 inches in length which remains in extremely nice condition. The lovely guard wears an intricately detailed backstrap that frames a very nice carved horn hilt. The guard continues to wear much of the original gold wash and the horn hilt remains very healthy in condition, still wearing its original wire wrap. The plated metal scabbard also remains very nice with only a couple of very small dings. Overall measuring 33 1/2 inches in length. (please note other items shown as props are not included in this auction)
