WW2 Era Japanese Officer’s Quality Stylised Brass Lion Or Dragon’s Head Pommel Fighting Knife Made From An Earlier Family Katana Sword Blade For War Service, Steel Scabbard Fitted With Leather Field Combat Cover & Laced Frog. Sn 20961 - 20961

This is an excellent original WW2 era Japanese Officer’s quality fighting knife. It measures 11 ¾” overall. It has a brass framed polished horn hilt with copper wire binding all tight and intact. It has a dramatic stylised Lion or Dragon’s Head Pommel ball top. The hilt has a re-curving brass finger guard. The 6 ½” long steel blade is fullered, razor sharp & has just light staining to be expected with age. The blade appears to be made from part of an earlier most likely family blade and re-hilted for war service (we are unable to remove the blade from the hilt to inspect for possible smith signatures or other markings). The knife is complete with its steel scabbard mounted with leather field combat cover & leather laced frog with belt loop. All leather and stitching are clean and intact with just a few light scuffs consistent with service carry. The price for this attractive piece worthy of further research includes UK delivery.
