Overall Condition: This
blade is very health and may never have been repolished. It does have
some chips in the edge most of which are about 1 mm, a couple about 2 mm.
There is also what looks like a sword cut in the mune (see picture).
This sword looks like it was in one good battle. There are other scraps,
scratches and scuff marks. All the damage except the sword cut will
come out in a good polish and this will still be a very health nice looking
sword. The koshirae is all very good quality and in excellent
condition. There is a family mon in the fuchi. The habaki is
foiled and appears to be shibuichi. It is in very serviceable condition
and has superb balance. |
