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

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..
