Scarce 1875 Pattern Army Field Officer Kyu-Gunto

[Bochavista]

For sale is a rare 1875 pattern Type 19 Field Grade Kyu-gunto. It’s a match to page 79 of Dawson’s book. The blade length is 26”, with an overall length of approximately 33 1/4”. The blade is unsigned. I will attach a ton of pics but if you want something more specific, please let me know.

Asking $1,300 USD plus shipping, PayPal only.

I’m located in Wisconsin.

Thanks for looking,

Chris B

Hello Chris, is the blade traditionally made?

[Bochavista]

I am not sure. I posted it in Military Swords group and a couple people had said it looked like a ‘practical’ blade because of the hamon and nakago. I know that it is sharp. If there any other photos that could help confirm or deny this let me know and I’ll snap them. Thanks, Chris

I wanted to add some pics, from a couple of requests. Also wanted to add that I will ship internationally for cost. Thanks for the interest, Ch

Very nice!

Certainly appears to be a nice hand-made blade. With a little Photoshop magic, hakkikake and a prominent masame-hada:

some dealers are asking that just for the koshirae.
