Japanese Katana Training Martial Art Decorative

This is one of the early examples of decorative/training Japanese swords from the 1960's or 70's. That was well before the Chinese factories began manufacturing them in the millions. This one has a surprisingly well made blade. When you look at the tang, it appears that the blade was actually handmade and the very end of the blade is slightly warped, also consistent with a handmade manufacture. The blade is pristinely clean, sharp with a couple of teeny-tiny nicks on the edge. The blade length is 29" and the handle is another 10.25". The scabbard and the handle are wrapped in imitation shark skin and the fittings are some kind of bronze-colored alloy. This is definitely NOT a true Nihonto but will be eminently suitable for training purposes or just for decoration. NO RESERVE!
