Description |
A signed original WW2 Japanese Shin Gunto. Blade has a nice gunome hamon of ko-nie and ashi. Hada is very tight ko-itame. Blade condition is in need of a polish as there are some light scracthes, light rust and a few small nicks, but everything can still be seen. Signature looks to be "Ishihara Kanetada". There is a "Ishihara Kanetada" from the Mino region, but requires more study to confirm this.
Mounts are WW2 with a pierced sukashi gunto tsuba with a wooden black lacquered saya and a good condition leather cover. Gunto fittings are numbered and with a holding hands sarute. Fuchi is missing, handle wrap should be redone, otherwise mounts are in good condition.
