JAPANESE OFFICERS KATANA WITH FAMILY MON.

It is enormously difficult to find any Japanese officers swords with the family Mon attached, we would estimate one in a hundred swords have this feature. This example has a most superb hand made blade, 27 inches long, the contrast between the wavy yakiba and the highly polished blade is magnificent, unsigned tang, The ray skin covered grip undamaged with its original grip wrapping, which has seen considerable wear but is still in place and is supple, the ray skin underneath the top cap again undamaged with the family Mon attached to the top mount. All the original washers are intact, its junior officers rank blue and brown strap in place. The metal scabbard has all its original olive drab paint remaining with slight loss just below the hanging ring. Good colour to all of the other fittings. An extremely nice Japanese officers sword, family identified with the Mon. Research could be done on the Mon itself.
