Hello,

This item is a Japanese Guntō sword from the World War II era, traditionally carried by Japanese officers. The sword features an engraved tang (nakago), indicating it was likely handmade rather than mass-produced, which adds to its historical and monetary value. Such engravings often reveal the swordsmith’s name or the region where it was crafted, providing insights into its origins.

The blade is in good condition, showing minimal rust and retaining much of its original polish. The fittings, including the tsuka (handle) and tsuba (guard), are typical of the period’s military swords, reflecting the practical yet elegant design associated with Japanese martial tradition. These swords hold historical significance due to their use in the conflict and are highly collectible among military enthusiasts and antique arms collectors.
