Description
Meiji period Japanese gunto (circa 1880)
Presentation or officer's sword, mounted in a shagreen-covered scabbard, characteristic of weapons of high rank.
The mounting has been modified, the tsuba having been replaced by a tsuba-type element or simplified mounting, probably in the context of a late readaptation.
This piece would have belonged to a high-ranking officer in the imperial army during the Meiji era.
