Kamakura Tachi Koto Japanese Samurai Sword Katana. This is an ancestral long sword made in the early koto period i believe around 800 yeras ago. The cutting edge measured frmo tip to notch is 26 3/4 inches.Japanese katana kamakura tachi koto japanese samurai sword katana nakago is osuriage (tang shortened in antiquity, no markings or signature remain) with three holes, one filled with lead. The rust near the tip of the tang shows the age to be very very old. The cutting edge has temper and will shave brass, thin suguha hamon is visible however being scuffed and out of polish it is very hard to make out. The only place i can see the activity is a clear spot under the habaki that shows a very rich blue color with wood grain and very bright white temper. The blade has no cracks, chips, or forging flaws. There is some fingerprint rust with light pitting that will easily coem out in a polish. The original copper habaki is in excellent condition. The ww2 army fittings are complete and show wear from age and use. The leather on the scabbard is missing about six inches near the end, the handle wrap is loose, a little bit of the shark skin has fallen out, and there is a small crack on the seam of the pommel. I believe this blade has great potential to receive papers after restoration.
