This is a stunning and incredibly beautiful Japanese katana. It is from the early 1500s and can be traced back by the double signature on the tang back to the original blacksmith. It is not papered, but it came from a well accredited Antiques Dealer and is guaranteed genuine forged by him. Take a look at all the photos to see general condition and dimensions. Comes with what is shown nothing more nothing less. The blade is highly polished and has small imperfections. Everything is shown in the photos.
