Antique Japanese & World Weapons AUG. 29th
Lot 16:
Massive Japanese Samurai Ko-WAKIZASHI Sword (TANTO Dagger) ~ Arrow-Tips Mounts. A powerful example with a beefy broad blade of scarce configuration, tang overpolished but the blade is definitely quite old and most battle-efficient, surely well used in its times. Interesting and unusual iron mounts with chiseled arrow head motives, matching brass arrow-head menukies with gold gilt finish. Impressive large Tanto or short Wakizashi (ko-wakizashi) of superb fighting qualities, a deadly weapon indeed, used by Samurai warriors.Total Length in Scabbard – 20 1/4" Blade Length (along the spine, from Habaki notch to the tip) – 12 1/8"
