Yasukuni Shrine Army Sword W/rare Rayskin Saya

Recommended Posts

This sword was made by the Yasukuni Shrine smith Kotani Yasunori.  


The saya is desirable--it is a rare Army saya with same/rayskin.  A rayskin army saya is found on 1 in 10,000 army swords--so this sword with its rayskin saya is exceedingly rare.


The blade measures 26 7/8" (68.3 cm) from blade tip to notch in the blade spine.


 


Condition:


The blade has a couple of tiny nail catcher edge nicks, and barely an occasional tiny pit.  The mounts/koshirae are perfect.  


 


The hamon is perfect.  The boshi is perfect as well.
