PNSSHOGUN Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 A lovely Silver Type 98 with quite a few features not too often seen. Well made Mumei Gendaito blade in good condition, only faults are a bend and some light scratches in the Monouichi. Silver wash Habaki. Fittings are the uncommon silvered type, with Aluminium Saya. All small fittings are numbered "1516". There is a very similar sword for sale here: https://nihontou.jp/choice03/toukenkobugu/katana/1604/00.html What makes this sword even more interesting, is the writing translated by SteveM on the Tsuka, Saya liner, and Kabutogane. At a guess, this is a gift/prize from a Mr Toyoshima to Mr Ishiwatari. Saya: "豊島様 - For Toyoshima Sama" #1516. Red ink stamps: "一 等 - first class" & 店 - shop". Fuchi: "豊島様 - For Toyoshima Sama" & #1516 Name in silver: "石渡 - Ishiwatari" 26.5" nagasa 3.2cm Hamachi OAL: 39.5" SOLD 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul griff Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 Really nice sword and if it was in the U.K I wouldn’t have hesitated but I really hate paying import duties to our corrupt and inept government.. Regards, Paul.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
