6/13/19 - This is an original, hand made (traditionally made) sword made by Kinoshita Yoshitada during WWII. This would have been made by one of the top students in a region of schools. The sword is in excellent overall condition. The scabbard has light patina, but this is normal non excessive wear. Excellent handle as well as shown, but there is some gold finish washed out on some of the fittings. The blade is minty. All original and authentic.
