Original Imperial Japanese Army Officers Parade Sword- This parade sword boasts an exceptional blade with an unmarked, well-preserved ricasso. It retains the original leather washer, while the brass handle exhibits signs of age and a charming patina. The guard and grip remain securely in place, though the triple wires are slightly loose towards the upper part of the grip. It's worth noting that the scabbard has been post-war painted black, but its original finish should be nickel-plated. The restoration of the nickel-plated appearance might be possible if the paint is carefully removed.
