Description: See photos for complete details. This is a fresh estate purchase and does not appear to have been taken apart or looked at until I received it. The 26 5/16” Nagasa blade is in great shape with minimal era staining, straight and in about 90% plus polish. I am close add an information on Mantetsu blades from the book on Japanese swords by Fuller and Gregory. Mantetsu blades are famous for their fine cutting ability. This WW2 era Japanese katana is a rare find for collectors of Militaria from the period. The sword is mounted in Gunto style and bears the Koa Isshin Mantetsu Saku kanji markings and a Showa zodiac colander date. This original piece has a history that is sure to fascinate enthusiasts, and is an excellent addition to any collection. The sword is from Japan and has a connection to the conflict of WW II (1939-45) making it a highly sought-after item.
