matthewbrice Posted September 14, 2018 Report Posted September 14, 2018 This sword was made by the Yasukuni Shrine smith Kotani Yasunori. The saya is desirable--it is a rare Army saya with same/rayskin. A rayskin army saya is found on 1 in 10,000 army swords--so this sword with its rayskin saya is exceedingly rare. The blade measures 26 7/8" (68.3 cm) from blade tip to notch in the blade spine. Condition: The blade has a couple of tiny nail catcher edge nicks, and barely an occasional tiny pit. The mounts/koshirae are perfect. The hamon is perfect. The boshi is perfect as well. https://stcroixblades.com/shop/products/ww-ii-Japanese-yasukuni-shrine-army-officer-samurai-sword-antique-old-colle/ $7,695 obo Thank you. --Matthew Brice
