Vintage Japanese Iaito, Unknown Manufacturer, Brass Higo Fittings

A vintage Iaito featuring a broad simulated suguha hamon and quality brass Higo style fittings. Cotton ito with inlaid genuine samegawa panels. The sword has a slight bend (which may be bent back) and shallow bo-hi so it does not create kiri kaze without a perfectly aligned cut. The tsuka has a split in the core, but this will not be an issue for Iaito (could be repaired with wood glue if it is a concern. Saya while fully functional, is tired and has some dents and chips and cracks from use. A great practice sword with some decent fittings.
