JAPANESE SHORT SWORD, TANTO
EDO PERIOD 18TH / 19TH CENTURY
with a lacquered scabbard (saya) and ray-skin handle (tsuka)
50cm long, blade, 31cm long
We have been unable to remove the handle to inspect for a signature. Generally in poor condition with corrosion to the blade, losses to the lacquer, splits to the handle and missing bronze mounts.
Personal viewing highly recommended.
