For Sale: 14Th Century Japanese Samurai Katana

[matthewbrice]

1 old 14th Century Japanese Samurai sword available.  There are 4 holes in the nakago.  The kissaki  was just as rusty as the rest of the front portion of the sword before it was worked on.  And a healthy boshi was revealed.  So rust removal was successful in this area.  The rest hasn't been worked on yet.  I just paid to have the boshi proven.  This sword is priced so that once you put in your time polishing, there is good money to be made when selling it.  This is a good sword for an amateur or professional polisher. 

 

The blade measures 24 13/16" (63 cm) from blade tip to notch in the blade spine.  This sword has a brand new, $400 Japanese-made shirasaya.

 

$1600
