19. 元日本陸軍98式軍刀、茶色鉄鞘、七銭、付属品付き

Former Imperial Japanese Army Type 98 Military Sword with Brown Iron Scabbard, Seven Seppa, with Sword Bag

This is a Type 98 military sword mount actually used by the former Imperial Japanese Army. The blade is a non-sharpened replica (made of zinc alloy), intended for display only and not for cutting. The surface of the blade shows some dullness and scratches due to long-term storage, but there are no significant defects, rust, or damage. Both sides feature a triple cherry blossom menuki, and the handle is made of ray skin, wrapped with brown handle cord at the base, showing dirt and scratches. There is one tsuba and a total of seven small seppa, all secure. The scabbard has no damage or significant dents, but some areas have lacquer peeling. The locking mechanism operates normally, allowing smooth insertion and removal. Total length: 101 cm. Due to its age, there are scratches, dirt, rust, dents, peeling, fading, and dust accumulation in fine areas resulting from long-term storage.
