Nicholas Posted Sunday at 11:38 PM Report Posted Sunday at 11:38 PM For sale: Yasukuni shrine sword signed Yasuoki and dated 1942 with NBTHK Hozon 25” nagasa. The sword is accompanied by type 98 koshirae with mon and field grade officers tassel. Blade and mounts are in excellent condition. Leather tsuka cover is ripped. The sword is in original polish resting in a fresh shirasaya. All fittings are stamped with the #13 and everything fits nice and tight. I’ve had this sword in my collection for a few years now and feel it’s time to parts ways. The same way I got it is the same way I’m selling it. It’s a beautiful package in excellent condition with lots to enjoy.
