Soshu Hiromitsu Katana In Russo-Japanese War Admiral's Kyu Gunto Mounts

This is an interesting sword!  It is mounted in Russo Japanese war Admirals grade KyuGunto mounts.  The cutting edge is exactly 60cm (23 10/16") long.  The blade is an early to mid Muramachi period Soshu den katana and has a Kinpun Mei (Gold Lacquer atribution) to Hiromitsu.  The homon is a gunome-midare with utsuri.  The Jihada is a O-Itame-hada combined with masame.  The Kyu-Gunto saya is missing its koaguchi so the top hanger will slid it the clam shell on the handle is not latched.  This is a very interesting sword and will be very nice in full polish.

$4850  SOLD!
