Hi I got this sword at an estate buy out and would appreciate any info. There was no scabbard when found. The blade measures 18 11/16" long from point to the back notch and 24 7/8" overall. There seems to be red lacquer in the groove extending into the tang. The handle measures 8". http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj578/ferndalemarket/image_zpsrlco0ii1.jpeg http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj578/ferndalemarket/image_zpswu9dcgek.jpeg http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj578/ferndalemarket/image_zpsigpsfpop.jpeg http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj578/ferndalemarket/image_zpshehfl5r0.jpeg.
