SC0214
This sword in its original military mount with a blade signed :Masayuki".
The previous owner said it was once belonged to the Viscount Sakai Tadasuke family and is mounted in military mount with purple tassle (color of Aristocracy).
There is a silver Sakai Clan mon on the handle.
It was surrendered to a senior Commander of the US Occupation Force during Japan's surrender and taken back to the US as a War Trophy.
For display purpose, I had mounted it in a customised samurai koshirae as depicted in the last photograph.
It has a cutting edge of 70cm, and signed " Minamoto Masayuki".
This Masayuki could be the later Kiyomaro and shall send it to Japan for confirmation.
