Blade is 27 1/2" long, with single hi, wavy hamon, and gold washed copper habaki. Military tsuba, with silver and brass seppa, properly pierced to accept the sheath retainer clip in the fuchi. Military hilt, with brown cord wrap and military menuki with silver moon designs in the centers. The nakago is signed, with 5 symbols on the left side and three larger symbols on the right. Brown lacquered military saya, with single suspension band.

Excellent. A tiny chip is absent from the edge, with minor spotting towards the tip, otherwise the finish is bright and the hamon is strong. Minor wear is visible on the furniture, and the wrap shows minor stains. A few areas of flaking are present on the saya, with mild handling marks. Mountings are all very fine.
