PNSSHOGUN Posted April 19, 2022 Report Posted April 19, 2022 A nice Zohei-To or army arsenal sword in good early mounts. This sword has the uncommon " 造兵厂 - Zoheisho" Mei and small Kokura stamp, the same Mei can be found on page Page 68 of Swords of Imperial Japan 1868 - 1945. These are the early Type 94 mounts with pronounced curved Tsuka, pierced Tsuba and gloss Saya, without the removable Ashi. The blade is is decent condition, with scratches around the Monouichi. There is some paint loss to the Saya. All fittings are matching and are marked with "73". OAL: 98cm Nagasa: 65cm 3 2 Quote
