Authentic Japanese Katana Samurai Sword Display Set 2 Replica Steel Dragon Blade

■Conditon:
an authentic pair of samurai katana swords (probably 1045 model with cosmetically applied hamon) likely made for display purposes but possibly Iaito. This set was produced, purchased, and shipped straight from Japan. These items show some speckling (some from production, some from use and display) along with some raised metal bumps from the handmade forging process. Overall both items are in decent condition with well forged blades, strong handles, tight tsukaito (cords), attached sageo (rope tie) and weighted perfectly - all verifying authenticity. We have not opened up the blades and cannot confirm tang fullness. Please see all pictures for full representation before purchasing.
■Rank: 
B ranking - This item was previously owned with slight imperfections in the steel forging process and slight marks from use and display, but there is no doubt of authenticity as this item was produced and found right here in Japan. Other than older models, it doesn't get more authentic than this when it comes to the art of Japanese sword making. Please see all images for accuracy.

STRAIGHT FROM JAPAN - This is an authentic pair of Japanese display swords. We have not taken the item apart or changed it in anyway (with mekugi peg still situated in place as expected) so you will be receiving exactly what you're seeing! These may be Iaito style swords, but they were likely produced as 1045 models with cosmetically applied hamon for display purposes only, and have dulled blade, albeit still pointy tips. If you are looking for a real Japanese sword, you've come to the right place. Both swords show a good hamon effect but are likely cosmetic in that they show similar syncopated patterns and microscopic vertical lines probably due to brushing. Both show slight abrasions from creation, display, and/or use. Please see our other sales for hard to find and authentic vintage product. Don't forget let us know if you have any questions about pricing options or product info! We can break up the set if you are only interested in certain choices.
