This Japanese non-commissioned officer’s (NCO) Shin Gunto sword from World War 2. The blade and the mountings are in Very Good condition. The blade is 26.5 inches long (67cm) and has a fuller the entire length of the blade. The blade and the scabbard are both numbered 83504. There is an arsenal stamp on the blade next to the number. The sword is in Very Good condition showing a few small micro nicks, several small spots of rust, and some scratches along its length. The mounts are in Very Good condition. The scabbard shows one small dent and a few spots of missing finish, retaining roughly 80-85% original finish. The handle shows a few small areas of missing finish, retaining roughly 80-85% original finish. Overall, I think this NCO sword would be a great addition to a collection of WW2 militaria or Japanese swords.
