Nice dragon engraved on the blade on one side and a Japanese leader on another side excellent wraps and nice rolling of dragon on the hilt
It may have been purchased from a sword smith in Australia
Dear Jeffrey,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a modern Katana sword with unknown measurements. The sword comes with a scabbard and the steel blade is decorated with a dragon. This decorative piece was made in the second half of the 20th century.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 50 to 100 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
George
