ww2 japanese sword

[Jon Coppenbarger]

Just figuring out how to post photo's again. LOL
Here are just a few photo's of my sword.
It is a commissioned officers sword and is marked as so.

Nashu Ju Seki Asano Kanesane Saku. If I read it right?
it has the Seki small stamp also along with the Kokuin hot stamp of Asano Kanesane (turtle).

beautiful blade that is!

The blade is very nice with no damage at all. As you can see in the photo the wrap on the grip is very dirty but as always I will not clean it. The scabbard is also worn. It is a aluminum scabbard which has the bottom paint worn and chips off the back spine like it was drug around threw rock or coral or what ever.

I am not even a close beginer on these things but have had a few of them over the years.
