This EARLY Japanese Samurai Naval CUSTOM mounts sword would make an important addition to any collection. These mounts are among the earliest post-Samurai mounts. After Japan outlawed the Samurai class, it embraced Western military methods and invited military instructors to advise them on their modernization efforts. As a side note, this period was documented in the movie 'The Last Samurai'. Japanese army and naval sword mounts were fashioned after Western military swords. The Japanese sword during this time became a hybrid blend of Japanese and Western styles. These custom mounts date to the very earliest of these early period mounts--likely ~1873 A.D. The blade is signed 'Yamashiro no Daijō Minamoto Kunishige'. Kunishige worked from 1624-1661 A.D. Kunishige is a jo-saku swordsmith. The blade measures 22 3/4" (57.8 cm) from blade tip to notch in the blade spine. This is a big meaty sword. Condition:The blade is in original Japanese polish. The blade has some occasional pitting--but will polish nicely. The hamon and boshi are perfectly healthy. This blade will be a screamer if polished.
