RARE EARLY CHOSEN KOREA TYPE 7 WWII Japanese Sword POLICE SABER WW2 SHIN GUNTO. This exact sword comes from the collection of John Plimpton who assembled one of the top collections of Japanese military swords in the world. His collection, and this sword, are set to be published in his upcoming book Guide to Imperial Japanese Military and Civil Swords.

Previews of the book can be found. This sword is featured on pg. 300 and a sample of that page is included in the listing.

Will be offering very many additional swords from the. Please keep an eye out for them as they are in top condition and feature very rare versions of military swords. Item Description: This is an original rare and early WWII Japanese Chosen (Korea) Administration Police Official's Saber from World War 2. This sword is the special version of the Type 7 made for usage in the Chosen (Korea) administration. This kind of variation is exceptionally scarce.

The blade is in Excellent condition and the mountings are in Near MINT condition. The blade is 29.5 inches long (75cm) and has a fuller the entire length of the blade. The hilt is metal the grip is leather. There is a leather finger loop on the grip.

There is also the emblem of the police on the grip. The scabbard is metal and shows no dents and few areas of missing finish, retaining roughly 96-98% original finish. The blade is in Excellent condition.

There are no nicks, some scattered small spots of rust, and some scratches along its length. I think this Chosen Police Saber would be an outstanding addition for a collection of WW2 militaria or Japanese swords. Terms and additional items: This item is original and not a knockoff or fake.
