Recently purchased at a military auction, this is an excellent condition USGI Bring Back wartime production high grade Japanese officer Katana in the Type 98 Shin Gunto ( kyhachi shiki gunt) setting. We rarely see Type 98s in such good condition! This is how they are "supposed" to look, without wear removing the gilt accents and browned finish on the brass. There is just a bit of period wear, so it did see some service,
