The same and tsukaitoare contstructed such that they cover up the mekugi peg. The tsukais also fitting too tight for removal.The mountings are Type 98 ShinGunto and in Good condition.The tsuka is silk-cord wrapped with no menuki and a black leather same.The wrapping is tight and there is little to no fraying, however while the tsuka-itois original, the tsuka looks to have been re-wrapped at some point. The tsubais the classic WW2 design with four accompanying metal seppas. The saya(scabbard) is wood that has been wrapped in black electrical tape. blade is in Good condition. The edge was extensivelysharpened and as a result the blade is now exceptionally sharp. However, thesharpening has obscured the hamon and resulted in some loss of the width of theblade.
