Imperial Japanese Army Type 19 Company Grade Kyu-Gunto or Officer’s Dress Sword

Located in Milford, NH

A nice example of an Imperial Japanese Army Type 19 Company Grade Kyu-Gunto or Officer’s Dress/Parade Sword with saya (scabbard), a design approved circa 1886. The blade is possibly an heirloom blade, dating to early Shinto or late Koto Period. Original ubu (tang), mumei (unsigned), notare (blade pattern or hamon) is mostly nioi based (hazy finish), tight hada (grain pattern)- possibly koitame or komokume, mune (back side of the blade) takashi (high back), yashuri mei (file marks) are Taka No Ha (Feathers of the Hawk), the Kojiri (end cap of the scabbard) is chestnut shaped, and the blade has a Tori-Zori curvature. Very good overall condition, with minor surface losses and imperfections, and light wear commensurate with age and use. Dimensions: Blade Length: 23 5/16 in; Blade with Tang: 28.75 in; Scabbard: 26 5/16; Length of sword with hilt: 30.13 in; Overall Length of Sword & Scabbard: 32.5 in.
