Beautiful example with gold inlaid copper mounts and gilt copper dragon menukies, mounted with an early pierced iron Tsuba showing lightly worn gold decorations. Beautiful broad blade with prolonged tip and very unusual heart hole on the tang, appears to be quite early, probably an early Shinto era example but might be Koto as well, nice tamper line along the edge. In its finely lacquered scabbard having family Mon flower symbols and housing an exquisite copper-handled Kozuka depicting a richly gold inlaid ancient warrior armed with a sword and helmet. tsuka with fine sting ray skin and braiding, all fully intact on this exceptionally attractive Samurai warrior's weapon.
