Lot 4762 | A Late war Army Officer’s Sword Variation
Estimate value
€ 450
This is a very late war variation. It has been suggested these were made circa May 1945, another thought is they were produced as a home defense sword very late in the war. Either way they are quite rare. The blade is not signed, there are numbers stamped on the back of the tang. The blade is in fair condition, it is stained and has been buffed in areas making the temper hard to see but it appears to be straight. There is a surrender tag sewn around the handle. It is the address and name of the owner: Meguro Ku Kami Meguro 5 Chome 2436 (in modern Tokyo), Mr. Kishida Daiki. Cutting edge ca. 25 7/8”, overall, ca. 39 3/4”.
Provenienz: Dave Webster Collection.
